Meltdown

Many events that occurred in the last week are part of nature. But not the nuclear meltdown. Obviously, there is negligence or criminal activity in that oldest nuclear power station in Japan. Maybe, the shutdown process has not been properly maintained because it is virtually never used. Maybe, because it is expensive to restart a nuclear power station, it has been activated with reluctance... and the delay is disastrous.

We often have to wait for a terrible outcome to occur before correcting it or instigating a firm plan to stop it from happening... when prevention would be cheaper. Someone from Tokyo Power is going to 'lose face' while a few millions get nuked.
