Well there is cheap living space available around Fukushima right now. Would you care to move there?


The place has been just hit by an 8.9 earthquake and a tsunami. If I had to list reasons why not to go over there, my concern over likelihood of natural disasters is much higher than concern of nuclear accidents.

All else being equal, I wouldn't mind moving close to a nuclear plant. The thing is, power plants (in general) are built in less hospitable places. So it's never "equal" to begin with.


I already live not too far from a nuclear power plant, but I'd rather not live in a major earthquake zone.

I mean, this earthquake has already killed thousands (and there will be more earthquakes in the futures). The power plant? I think a few have died from the hydrogen explosions, but none from radiation poisoning.
