核电也有核电的好处，传统能源都短缺了，而且严重污染环境，相比来说，核能是一种清洁能源。其实核电站的安全性很高的。福岛核电站1971年就建成了，估计当初设计的时候，根本没想到会发生9级地震并引发海啸。

Actually, nuclear power plants are very safe. The Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant was built in 1971. When it was originally designed, I imagine they had no idea there would be a level 9 earthquake that would lead to a tsunami.
