Of course the plant is wrecked, but the point is there was no

Out of interest is that still your view? No nuclear accident at all,
not even a little one?


What counts is whether there were any killed or injured, and whether
there is any long term damage to the environment. And that is true for
any industrial accident.

What counts is whether the renewables lobby can keep the hysteria up
long enough for the glaring shortcomings in their agenda to be hidden
long enough to bang in a few thousand more useless white elephants on
cast iron subsidy contracts.


You are not being very objective, in fact your emotional involvement
with your own agenda is clouding your judgment. This is a very serious
accident, and the full scope of it is not yet clear. Nobody can say at
this point what the human health consequences will be, in terms of
increased cancer rates, but tens to hundreds of thousands of people's
lives have been severely disrupted (on top of the tsunami impact), and
decommissioning the plant will be enormously expensive.
