Good I guess, as long as you don't have an earthquake.

I haven't been opposed to nuclear power. I live about 20 miles from one.
But this latest incident in Japan sure gives one pause.

I think the significant thing is that the problem wasn't the 9.0
earthquake, it was the tsunami. That makes most of the US reactors
somewhat immune to the biggest problem.

Except the one 5 miles from my house.....

Where is the fault that is going to cause the level 9 earthquake?

Also the Japanese Nuke plant is 40 years old. We have learned a lot in that
time. Does not require electricity to keep the emergency cooling water
flowing these days.
