Maybe it's best if countries on or around extremely volatile tectonic plates don't rely on nuclear energy. There are other ways of producing energy and moreso if you are surrounded by oceans and open skies.
The question is,if the cheaper energy that comes from nuclear plants is worth the risk of spreading radiation over the whole globe in the case of an accident or mistake...and mistakes will happen for there will never be 100% security...In Germany,after the terrible events in Japan,is a big debate going on about pulling the plug from nuclear energy...In 2020 Germany could produce all the energy that is now produced by nuclear plants through renewable energy sources like solar energy and wind energy,but that will cost lot of money...Personally I think that it will be worth it,but I'm pretty sure politicians and lobbyists will fuck that up...
