Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was NOT using Generation I reactors.

"Gen I refers to the prototype and power reactors that launched civil nuclear power. This generation consists of early prototype reactors from the 1950s and 1960s, such as Shippingport (1957–1982) in Pennsylvania, Dresden-1 (1960–1978) in Illinois, and Calder Hall-1 (1956–2003) in the United Kingdom. This kind of reactor typically ran at power levels that were “proof-of-concept.”"

Got my gens mixed up, so thanks.

But I think my point is still valid. These Gen II reactors should be retired and replaced.
