Before Japan's devastating earthquake and subsequent tsunami last year the country had 54 functional nuclear reactors. However, due to the destruction caused by the tsunami, only one reactor remains. This final reactor is expected to be shut down for maintenance in the coming weeks which leaves many worried about a possible shortage of power during the upcoming hot summer months when power is in higher demand.
I am interested to see if there will be any noticeable damage leftover from last year's earthquake. It truly must have devastated the country, especially since only one of the 54 reactors is up and running.

I am interesting in knowing if there will be AC. Summer without AC is brutal
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rob, a summer without a/c is brutal. I didn't realize they were still using any reactors for power from that site.
ReplyDeleteI read an article that said that clean up for the disaster has been unbelievably slow. I bet we will see areas that are still not fully cleaned up form the disaster.
