Lessons Learned From Japan Tsunami & Meltdown at Fukushima: Rethink Nuclear Power

Lessons Learned From Japan Tsunami & Meltdown at Fukushima: Rethink Nuclear Power
LEMMER, The Netherlands, February 22, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

Governments all over the globe using nuclear power should rethink their choices after the meltdown at Fukushima in Japan last year. According to professor Shunji Murai a government has to choose between economic development and health of local people in an area where a nuclear power plant is built. Murai writes this in a new and remarkable book Higher Ground: Learning from the East Japan Tsunami and Meltdown at Fukushima NPS.

In the case of Fukushima, Murai argues that neither the government nor the people would have allowed a nuclear power station to be built in the vicinity of Tokyo, this simply because everybody know that nuclear technology is not safe.
