Japan had big earthquake which results in one of the biggest tsunami so far.Unforunately this tsunami destroyed the fukushima nuclear plant which is very near to seashore.Japan has constructed all there nuclear plant on seashore as they can easily get water from sea and population density is less in that area.But after this incident do you think Japan should again think about location of nuclear plants?

The earthquake is quite common in Japan. So I wonder it may not be a good idea for Japan to build the nuclear plants. Since they are close to the sea, perhaps they shall think about taking advantage of the water or wind energy? I love China

I think it will be difficult for Japan to depend on wind or water energy as Japan got 80% of thier energy from nuclear power.Both wind and water energy depends on nature.I think they should moov the plants away from seashore at higher place so that in future they can prevent thier nuclear plant from natural calamities.
