epicenters and brave nation

Today, one article are posted on Nature.com

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nature10105.html

Robert J. Geller calls on Japan to stop using flawed methods for long-term forecasts and to scrap its system for trying to predict the 'Tokai earthquake'. (by nature)

I read this news on Japanese news site.

By the way, you can find a map showing the area where strong earthquake are expected (by flawed way) in the article. Please look at the map. And please look at this nuclear plants map.

pink square : reactor under construction

You will find some nuclear plants are built on the expected epicenters.
Wow, what a brave nation.......
