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.

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
