They were prepared for the earthquake, but the tsunami was the killer. The nuclear problem will also send a message to the rest of the world that there are great risks involved in the building and use of nuclear power. Lessons can be learnt and the best minds will be put to work to make improvements....there will not be total safety, but as was the case after Three Mile Island ans Chernobyl better and more protected plants can be built. Older plants will have to be closed or refurbished, but there is no going back. Too many countries.... USA (20%), Germany, France among them, are too heavily reliant on them for their energy.
