Should Japanese Nukes Be Scrapped Because of NRA Seismic Judgments?

(January 4) Should Japanese Nukes Be Scrapped Because of NRA Seismic Judgments?
 
Over the past month, Japan’s Nuclear Regulatory Authority has concluded that geologic anomalies running near and under the Tsuruga and Higashidori nuclear stations might be seismic. It makes no sense to cavalierly have the two nukes in question dismantled because of the possibility itself. Site-specific criteria should be set and the operators given the option to either upgrade or decommission the facility in question.
