oh gosh, apparently there are 55 nuclear plants in Japan...
someone on a TV show yesterday commented: 'apparently the booming economy/factories etc needed the energy'
and as Japan 'doesn't have anything' (?) (not sure if that's true, that's what a studio guest said) like no coal etc, they went for nuclear (?)
yesterday evening they said they were all 'pretty safe' and that only one nuke plant had a 'possible problem with the cooling system' ??? oi
The link about didn't work for me so I posted this one:

NY Times doesn't seem so upbeat:

Well, we'll see...
A map with the powerplants - what were they thinking indeed??

Some good news too: Google helps to find people
