L.A. TIMES OPINION ARTICLE:
U.S. nuclear industry: Not safe enough

Notice the talk always revolves around how strong an earthquake it can survive. It's bad enough building this and the other California plant near, or directly on, earthquake faults. But....no one discusses the alleged "25 foot seawall" and it setting right on the edge of the coast, practically taking a swim in the Pacific.
Should the plate that lives in the Pacific off the California coast slip and cause a wave, will we have the same power/backup power problem as Japan did?
Remember, it wasnt the earthquake. It was the tsunami!
