Why does japan have so many nuclear power plants? You'd think they'd be more averse to it what with the whole "Having nuclear bombs dropped on them" thing.

>> No.6992649

Because they're a good source of energy and only retards would equate them to disastrous weapons of destruction.

It's funny how people are scared of "nuclear."
That's why we call nuclear magnetic resonance imaging MRI instead of NMR.

The United States had more atomic bombs dropped on it than Japan. We should have 50 times more nuclear plants than they do.

Actually, this is our constant reminder that we still have a score to settle with the rest of the world.

Heh. I see Austria is listed as having none.
But we do! It's fully functional and ready to go. It's just people were too pussy to ever launch it.

The Japanese people were struck by nuclear power, and saw its awesome might, so they embraced it.

How come I haven't seen any personifications of the Fat Man and Little Boy by Japan yet? I know SOMEONE must have made some.

Bonus points for female or shota.

When compared to the Japan's total death toll in World War II, the atomic bombs are almost hopelessly insignificant. The US killed more Japanese civilians with conventional bombs than we did with the nukes. We firebombed Tokyo until practically the entire city burned down long before nuclear weapons were on the table. There is no reason why the bombs should change any of their policies in the present day. Vastly overrated event in history.

nuclear is good resource :)

>> No.6992833

They've got essentially no natural energy resources of their own, and never got spooked by near-meltdown of a plant like the US had (Three Mile Island), so they just kept building because they're a very practical way to get power for a small-ish, resource-less country.

Also they're very high-tech compared to coal plants etc, and obviously Japan has a fetish for the most advanced stuff available.

Also pollution might be another thing, while nuclear power generates radioactive waste, it's easier to store/sequester it than it is to deal with coal pollution fucking up air quality (which is already poor in big cities and China already demonstrated can be a big problem); in a small country like Japan they could choke up fast if they've got countless coal plants everywhere.
