But I guess it's easier to focus on nuclear power than the global catastrophes of fossil fuels, human ignorance, and overpopulation.

In Japan it often seems to me that the focus on Fukushima is a psychological diversion from the traumas of the tsunami itself.

We'd all rather deal with the problems we can solve rather than the problems we seem powerless against.
