As you've all heard, things are not going well at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant after the Tōhoku Chihō Taiheiyō-oki Earthquake 東北地方太平洋沖地震 of March 11th. Nuclear power seems great, until there's a disturbance of this nature to its workings.
Even though Shikoku, where I live, has very weak and infrequent seismic activity, as a local resident remarked to me today, should we have a big earthquake the nearby Ikata Nuclear Power Plant would be a great worry.
We visited this plant in November of last year and received information packets, a fair amount of it also in English. So even though this isn't Fukushima, here is what I have on nuclear power in Japan. (If you're interested in reading up close, look directly on Picasa.)
