I don't agree that Fukushima was a one in a million occurrence. It's what happens when you build a nuclear plant on a tsunami prone coastline on top of a fault zone and (apparently) place the backup generators below sea level. Not an indictment of Nuclear power itself at all actually but certainly of human and engineering stupidity.
