HISTORY

In 1954, Japan forced 230 million for nuclear energy, marking the beginning of the program. The Atomic Energy Basic Law activities limited to only peaceful purposes. The first nuclear reactor in Japan was built by GEC in the UK. In the 1970s the first water reactors were built in cooperation with American companies. These plants were purchased from U.S. suppliers such as General Electric and Westinghouse contract with the work done by Japanese companies, which was to obtain a building permit for projects of similar plants. The evolution of nuclear power since that time has seen contributions from Japanese companies and research institutes in the same level as the other major user of nuclear energy. Since 1973, Nuclear power has been a national strategic priority in Japan, while the country is highly dependent on imported fuel, with fuel imports accounting for 61% of energy production. There has been concern about the ability of Japanese nuclear plants to withstand seismic activity. The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant (nuclear plant) was completely closed for 21 months after an earthquake in 2007.

TRAGEDY IN JAPAN The whole word has been concerned with natural disasters that happened in Japan in March now. The north of the country was virtually destroyed by earthquake and tsunami and with it the country’s security is the destruction in some cities is full and there is no predicting when it will be back to normal.

Japan has it’s history in several disaster caused by earthquakes but this time the concern is even greater as the risk of contamination radioactive material that would affect not only the country but world wide. The main cause of an earthquake is the movement of tectonic plates.
