Panic and anxiety are all the feelings that the workers of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Tokyo as high levels of radiation have begun to show themselves at the levels that it can lead to incapacitation or death in just a few seconds of exposure. Japan has quickly recovered since the earthquake but perhaps it is too eager to rush head back to nuclear plants. It would be best for Japan to focus on containing this radiation rather than rush back to start the plant once again—especially since excess levels of radiation have already been found in beef, vegetables, tea, milk, seafood, and water. It is better to be safe than sorry, a lesson that Japan does not want to learn the hard way, especially since it can lead to fatalities.
I agree that we can learn from these mistakes. It is unfortunate that it took a catastrophic event such as this to remind us of the consequences of radiation. We need to find more effective and efficient ways to keep us safe from these effects.
ReplyDeletePeople are still wrestling with the radiation from the atom bomb. This is just another struggle added to the Japanese. I agree with Sam that we should learn from this event and find a way to prevent this from happening again.
ReplyDeleteObviously it can be hard to prevent a natural disaster. But from what happened to Japan, I agree that it is important to learn from what has happened in the past in order to aid Japan. People are still recovering from Hurricane Katrina years later. Japan is an incredibly productive country but I think it is more important not to rush back into things and let the Earth heal itself, and in the meantime let the people of Japan recover as well.
