So take a look at this article concerning the leakage that has been reported from the nuclear reactor in Fukushima. This reactor has been apparently leaking radiation only recently. This lack of coordination from the government to clean this site up is ridiculous. I realize that the company can only do so much, but I am an advocate for having safe nuclear energy. This is a prime example of problems that set back nuclear development. I also realize that this blog is for the advancement of knowledge for nuclear power plants, but this is ridiculous. Come on Japan. Way in on the story in the comments section and if you want to put in your 2 cents then make a statement in the comments section.

Concerning the leaking reactor, I believe that this is just irresponsible actions at work. Japan is not being helpful within the realm of the nuclear community. Every negative action committed that involves nuclear energy ultimately sets nuclear development back a few months. I wish that countries would take care of their problems and not cause issues for the now impacted industries/sciences.
