No part of Japan is uninhabitable for centuries.

Dangerous fossil fuel waste and the mining waste associated with so called "renewable energy" are making large portions of the Earth uninhabitable.

There are no forms of energy, none, that are as safe and as reliable as nuclear energy. This does not mean that nuclear energy is risk free, only that it is the last best hope of the planet.

To my mind, anti-nukes are the moral and intellectual equivalents of anti-mask, anti-vax types. Vaccines are not risk free, but they still save lives, as does nuclear energy.
