Even after 3 years, the damage in Tohoku regions has not been resolved, and I long the day that everything will be back to how it used to be. But even after three years, new problems continue to emerge. One of the most drastic, and complicated of all may be the issues surrounding the Fukushima nuclear power plant. 

Nuclear power plants have a negative effect on the environment and its people. Although nuclear power plants are carbon free and as such do not produce smoke, the non biodegradable radio active waste is a significant issue that many Japanese citizens (and many individuals all over the world)are concerned off. Furthermore, nuclear power plants take up A LOT of space in comparison to wind farms and solar photovoltaic parks. LARGE volumes of water is also necessary for cooling and heating the power plant and many of the earth's resources are required for nuclear power plants.

Yet, the Japan depends on the energy provided by the nuclear plants. Can we simply stop using them? Getting rid of them? Then, instead, fossil fuels and oils will have to be imported in order to compensate for the lost energy. Will the environmental impact of energy 

As such, there is no definite answer as to whether or not nuclear power plants are for the better, or for the worse. In Japan, a majority of the population (especially those who live in Fukushima) seems to despise nuclear power. On the other hand, energy is imperative in order to maintain a country, and nuclear power plants may be a source of energy with some drastic consequences at certain times. Specifically referring to March/11, toxic chemicals that leaked from the power plants was harmful to the marine environment, and had great damages on agriculture land facilities which made the food safety extremely poor. 

I would like to hear some opinions of the TUNZA community regarding nuclear energy please leave a comment if you are willing to share!
