We support stringent safety requirements for operating all nuclear power facilities, in Japan and everywhere else, including the Bushehr facility in Iran. But no energy-producing operation is foolproof: mines collapse, ships run aground, terrorists blow up pipelines and nuclear plants have meltdowns (fortunately rarely). Citizens of Japan are understandably traumatized by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. But to make intelligent decisions about radiation, it’s best to rely on facts — and not let emotional or illogical fears get in the way.
