Group Assignments, Changing Attitude towards Nuclear Power!

Changing Attitude towards Nuclear Power!

Before March 11, 2011, many people in Japan considered nuclear power to be safe, clean, and cheap. Despite the accident in 1986 in Chernobyl, governments around the world continued to develop nuclear power generation because they believed that the fault was solely to Soviet technology. Compared to the damage caused  in environment by the burning of fog of fuel, nuclear option was attractive one. In addition, people were told that uranium was cheaper than the coal, gas and oil used in traditional power stations. In Japan, nuclear power plants brought benefits to local communities that hosted them with many of them are becoming rich.


 When the Tsunami struck the Fukushima nuclear power plant in 2011, public’s attitude to nuclear power changed overnight. People came to realize that it was neither safe nor clean. They also realized that iit was not even cheap when  the costs of storing used fuel and cleaning up after an accident were taken into consideration. As a result of the disaster, the governments of Germany and France decided to review their policies and scale down their dependence on nuclear power. In contrast, the Japanese government has not yet stated a clear policy on power generation. Following the disaster in Fukushima, all nuclear power plants were shut down, but some were started up again one year later. One thing that is abundantly clear is that many more Japanese people are opposed to nuclear power than ever before.
