This is so sad. Everybody knew this is what would happen. All nuclear plants do is boil water. When we can boil water from the sun with concentrating reflectors, or extract heat from geothermal (Japan has the 1/3 largest geothermal resources in the world) to boil it, there is NO EXCUSE for building one more single nuclear plant, large or small. Cogeneration of fossil fuels and linear solar thermal power is the answer in rainy climates. Britain needs to get its act together.
Wonder how Tokyo is doing? I'm sure the pollution is just limited to the entire Pacific Ocean.

And they do it very well. As needed.

Unless it's cloudy. Or nighttime.

In a few areas. But it's messy and dirty.

If CO2 makes you cry and you like reliable energy, nuclear is fine.
