Summary:

This article takes place in Asia pacific, Japan, in which it talks about the Nuclear plant

industry at Fukushim that endure an earthquake that cause an explosion for this country. During

the earthquake, 40 workers ran to the Fukushim Daiichi Unit 1 Nuclear power plant in order to

stop the melting of nuclear by using a water pump. At 3:30 the worker were done but six minutes

later an explosion occurred in the building which spread radioactivity. America nuclear industry

wasinvolved in this situation by constructing a chronology that identify danger procedure and

venting issue. However, America does not lend a hand to Japan but assume that their venting

machine is the caused of radioactivity instead of phenomena. Fukushim delay venting until

government approve the venting usage which did help reduce radioactivity. Workers had no

home,slept near the power plant in which they inhale radiation, worked in the dark, had little

food and the country itself had a high radiation level.

Suggestion for improvement/solving:

What can be done to solve this issue is by providing a home for these workers so they won't

inhale radiation and to make a better procedure for workers to come in time if a nuclear is melting

without any workers getting hurt during this procedure. I also think that America Industry should

help Japan and Japan should plan what they can do during an earthquake by shutting down power

plants. I believe that the international community as well as the people affected by this situation

should be the ones who can create change by bringing this issue to the public eye so that people

can lend an hand and improve industrialization of nuclear power plant in Japan.
