Where do you sit on the nuclear debate?

Two very contrasting views of the same thing. The state of the nuclear facility in Fukushima, it's a tribute to great engineering or it's a disaster just about to happen.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12733393 the BBC is running with the scare story.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03/14/fukushiima_analysis/ The Register's analysis is that the facility has performed magnificently, massively exceeding its design specs.

I have to say I am in the latter camp, an 8.9 richter earthquake followed by a massive tsunami that takes out the power - and still everything is under control.

Add to that the incredible performance of Japanese buildings that didn't fall down and you see that it is possible to build this stuff safely, if you apply scientific principles and good technology.
