Japan's nuclear regulator has ordered that the nuclear operator in Kyushu halt operations at Sendai's unit 1 reactor until anti-terror upgrades are enacted:
Onaya, Yasuyuki (2019, June 14).Sendai reactor to stop due to delay in anti-terror upgrade work. The Asahi Shimbun, http://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/AJ201906140067.html
Kyushu Electric Power Co. will halt operations of the No. 1 reactor at its Sendai nuclear power plant in Kagoshima Prefecture next March due to a delay in upgrades to protect it from terror attacks, sources said June 13.I cannot help but remember in 2016 when more than 1,000 earthquakes rattled the island of Kyushu (http://majiasblog.blogspot.com/2016/04/more-than-1000-quakes-in-kyushu-since.html).
One has to wonder about the wisdom of building and operating nuclear power plants on an island that had over 1,000 earthquakes in a roughly one month period
Nuclear terrorists are terrifying but the force of the earth is even more formidable.
Nuclear power plants are a BAD RISK DECISION.
We need energy systems that work with geological forces, rather than presupposing an artificial quiescence.
