Abstract

We are now confronted with the facts that a lot of active faults exist close to the nuclear facilities in Japan.  These facilities exposed to dangers have been in operations for a long time.  Geographers, especially geomorphologists, are responsible for making such dangerous situations.  Goemophologists are in the leading role evaluating the activity of active faults.  Break with the past when the discussions of nuclear power had been under taboo, and raise many important suggestions and issues about nuclear safety review.
