When it by earthquake/tsunami I know which plant I'd prefer to be near. The pacific rim would not seem ideal for nuclear power.

Most of those things are by-design made to be sturdy as fuck. And so far, no-one has died from Fuku-radiation?

Japan has 50 reactors. That's an investment of more than 100 billion dollars.

Currently none of those is operating. Several of them will stay shutdown.

The clean up of Fukushima is costly.

That's a huge economic loss.

OTOH most of the other power plants (i.e. non-nuclear) are running.

Are you joking? The area is unsafe, and it seems it will be for a fair while. Guess you don't know anyone who has been evacuated.
