>The Japan Atomic Energy Agency raises the severity of the Fukushima I nuclear accidents to level 7, the highest on the International Nuclear Event Scale.
>An exclusion zone of 20 km was established around the plant.
>20 km

Can some fellow /sci/ence bros explain to me how 20 km is a safe enough distance for a Level 7 Nuclear Disaster?

>125 has the rational thought processes to be a philosopher.
>Physics, I'd expect a minimum of 135 and extreme hardwork.

My brother, who is a complete dumbfuck, ask me a question:
Why the elite of Japan physicians built a nuclear reactor in front of an Ocean that we know some day it would give indubitably a Tsunami?

Tell me Anons, does high IQ means low Common sense?

>Nuclear power is a good compromise between cost and environmental safety.

your assumptions are weak and wrong. democracy decides what is a "good compromise".

>The nuclear incidents over the past 60 years have done the damage that oil does in a single year.

citation needed. otherwise, i call bullshit.

>Renewable sources are far too expensive.

citation needed, but only to bash it since this is clearly wrong.

try again.

Oh thank god, a /sci/ thread to lurk. The surprisingly informative /v/ thread was deleted.
Please keep posting updates and links.
