Praying For a Quake?

Japan has pumped hundreds of tonnes of cooling water into its wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant every day since the giant nuclear disaster of March 11, 2011.  There is no way to clean up this highly radioactive dangerous water, so it is stored by the millions of gallons in endlessly growing fragile plastic tank farms at the site.

One good earthquake and all that water will all be in the Pacific.  Even a tremor will do.  It’s easy to predict that this will happen.  Japan has built fifty nuclear plants on one of the most active earthquake fault lines in the world.  After the quake, the stored water will be gone but the tragedy is forever.

I can hear it now.  It’s like an echo: “It’s not our fault.  There was an earthquake”.
