On the issue of location, let's not forget that Japan is a small country. Area of 145,000 square miles but 73% of that is forested and mountainous and can't be used, so 127,000,000 persons , plus farms and cities are packed in to 40,000 square miles, which is about the size of the state of Maine...that does not leave you much choice in where you put the power plants.
