***at all*** from nuking up the entire United States, except maybe near the west coast and near the new madrid fault close to St. Louis.
Japan is a crappy place to build a nuclear reactor, but there are lots and lots of tectonically stable places far from any ocean in the US where nuclear reactors would be absolutely perfect and ideal.
