During the discussions I saw several times the argument on how well the nuclear power plants stood up considering the magnitude of the desaster. I just can't share this opinion as the crises is still unfolding and it is not clear what the outcome will be.<p>To me the nuclear energy debate should be made with a real long term view beyond this event and the next decades. There is nuclear waste, aging reactors all these things need to be carefully considered to be sure if this is really the choice we want on how we create energy.<p>I am personally against nuclear power plants, but even if that technology continues to be used the demand should be made that it will be build and operated as safe as possible.
