Ideas
Since there don't appear to be Tsunami/Earthquake or Sea-Level Rise Emergency Plans for the Diablo Nuclear Reactor on the California coast, or Seabrook on the coast of New Hampshire, for example, after the Fukushima Tsunami and ongoing nuclear crisis, let's develop these at WUaS Nuclear Science - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nuclear_Science_and_Engineering ... given ongoing Radioactive Fallout measurements at Berkeley http://www.nuc.berkeley.edu/ucbairsampling, for example.

Germany has a moratorium on Nuclear Energy for the next 3 months, and the salt mine that was its experiment in storage of Nuclear Waste COLLAPSED. Where are the Nuclear Geologists in this current conversation about Nuclear's future? No Nukes, ever - its waste is a scourge, forever. Infant mortality is high around nuclear reactors that have had calamities, and further afield, as well.

California voted by referendum in the 1980s never to start a new nuclear plant.

Shut down Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant on California's coast now. It was first built (in 1968) to withstand a 6.75 earthquake, then re-designed to withstand a 7.5 earthquake, and Fukushima Dai-ichi earthquake / Tsunami was a 9.0. One BIG earthquake with Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant can RUIN California FOREVER. Nuclear WASTE is a TIME BOMB forever, too. Abolish Nuclear. Nuclear is not worth the risk, post Fukushima, especially.
