@Yong: The Rokkasho Nuclear Fuel Reprocessing Facility? That's safe, isn't it?
YongYang
In June 2008, scientists stated that the Rokkasho plant is sited directly above an active geological fault line that could produce a magnitude 8 earthquake. But Japan Nuclear Fuel Limited have stated that there was no reason to fear an earthquake of more than magnitude 6.5 at the site, and that the plant could withstand a 6.9 quake... remember what TEPCO said? QED.
