Europe now discussing future of nuclear power station expansions.

Its amazing how things can change in a few days.
Events in Japan have spurred leaders and Politicians into a frenzy,and yet it is well known that the issues on the table now,have been raised many times without a murmour.
With the greatest respect to Japan,there have been worries and concerns levied for years about the vulnerability of facilities,not from Tsunamis,but other forces.
No one could have contemplated that it would be natural forces which would alert those tasked with decisionmaking to start recognising dangers.
