Two months since the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant accident: Repercussions throughout Japan

The continuing crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has caused a reconsideration of the safety of nuclear plants in other parts of the country. Prime Minister Kan requested the shutdown of the Hamaoka plant in Shizuoka prefecture, because of its proximity to a geological fault line and the potential for tsunami. After consideration, the utility company agreed to the request.
In this week's program, we'll consider the reasons behind the Prime Minister's action, and we'll report on recent steps taken at the Fukushima facility. We'll also examine the nationwide effects of the situation.
Guest: Akira Yamaguchi, Professor, Osaka University
