Nepal earthquake catastrophe would be unimaginably worse, if nuclear reactors were in the region

The world is shocked by the earthquakes catastrophe unfolding in Nepal, with the death toll expected to be rising, perhaps to 10,000 or more.

It is just as well that  there are no nuclear power plants in the affected areas.  Things would be unimaginably worse if releases of radiation were spread across the area.

“The earthquake also caused loss of life and damage in other countries. At least 34 people died in India, and casualties were reported in Tibet and Bangladesh. India’s foreign secretary, S. Jaishankar, said in a news conference that a building at the Indian Embassy complex in Nepal collapsed and the daughter of an employee had been killed.”   http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/magnitude-79-earthquake-hits-densely-populated-area-of-nepal/2015/04/25/1c1b3f46-eb21-11e4-9a6a-c1ab95a0600b_story.html
