    1. Not only did it take a tsunami to make a nuclear power plant unsafe but also more people died from the evacuation than from radiation.

    2. No, we don’t have a nuclear disaster every 10 years because there’s only been 2 and one of them was from the Soviet Russia era.

    3. Spilling 10 litres of irradiated water is not a disaster.
