U.S. Senator Bob Casey Learned Something From Fukushima

Pro-nuclear power folks blame the Fukushima evacuation on misguided fear.

They are wrong.

Japan is a democracy, they decided to have nuclear power and they decided to have particular evacuation limits.

So an accident happened and they evacuated.

The problem is that the people didn't understand what was happening.  That's a failing of emergency preparedness and planning.  Who is responsible for that?  Everyone really...the public, the government and the power plant owners.

Casey trying to improve that in the U.S., though a 50 mile radius is a bit much.
