Obviously a radiation leak ontop of an earthquake is serious business for those involved - But why is the BBC giving its audience lots of info-graphics about how nuclear power plants work and what went wrong with Fukushima? A possible 10,000 people are dead because of the disaster, not because of radiation.

Because everyone already knows that 10,000 people are dead and reporting it more won't change that fact. But the Fukushima is an ongoing disaster that has potential to be catastrophic. Of course they're going to focus their reportage on it.
EDIT: Can you guys please leave the in-principle discussion of nuclear power (as seperate from Fukushima specifically) to the other thread? It's confusing if topics get duplicated.
