<\/a>Large scale planted and reinforced earth mounds would provide use protection against Tsunamis<\/p><\/div>With much sympathy for the plight of North Japan, I make the suggestion that the Fukushima Nuclear Reactors might have been much better able to resist the force of the Tsunami if there had been a 50m+ planted grass mound between the four reactors and the sea: (1) it would have cost very little money in proportion to the good it might have done (2) it would have made the Fukushima site more beautiful, because most industrial clutter is at ground level (3) it would have had ecological benefits (4) the earth might have been of use in an emergency.

\nSo if any of our readers manage coastal nuclear reactors and would like help with the design of a protective bund, please use our contact form<\/a> and I will find a former University of Greenwich landscape architecture MA student<\/a> to do the job for you: there are few countries without them. If the above suggestion is impractical, they will be able to help you with energy saving through sustainable landscape architecture and planning – so that your country will have less need for nuclear power.<\/a>
