Well, yeah, but entire towns had to be evacuated and interdicted.

How do you figure THAT external cost?

If we include those, the most costly and deadly energy is hydro. Last year a much bigger evacuation than Fukushima occurred in the US because of a dam failure.

It is kind of interesting that almost no one have heard of it, and that it did not make major international news.
