Nuclear Power in Japan

54 plants in existence

2 plants under construction

12 plants under contemplation

About 13% of the world’s whole plants

Why was it promoted ?

There’s bonus to the autonomy, which accepted it.-many provinces worry about depopulation

It doesn't exhaust carbon dioxide. -global warming prevention (but for it’s

poisonous)

Let's correctly understand

nuclear power, and spend the bountiful life.

Other Nuclear Plants

Hamaoka nuclear plant -the prime minister Kan specially requested -Hamaoka: probable region of Tokai earthquake source

Other nuclear plant (under regular survey)

-postponed to restart working

Scheduled Blackouts

Children　 They went to the west of Japan to avoid getting radiation and it

cause dividing families.　 School lunch problem　 Parents worry about school lunch if it is safe so they try to make

lunch pack for their children instead of school lunch.

Food　 Complicated the process of some processed food　 The beef which exposed to radiation is on the market it mean that

passed the datum point.　 We don’t know which one is safe food even we are Japanese.

What is standard value…?

The answer is… standard value = predictive value

There is no answers so I can’t produce my suggestion.

I realized myself who cannot believe the info from government and media.

I thought we have to see the info more critically.

This problem is so difficult that I think I have to keep studying to avoid the next accident like this one
