Safety record and maintenance practices at the Fukushima nuclear plant
06/11/2010
A Wall Street Journal analysis of the safety record of this plant with a 1970's design nuclear reactors. The safety record is worse than other plants in Japan, the analysis shows. Experts say the maintenance practices at the plant contributed to the meltdown of the nuclear reactors, as the spent fuel was removed from the nuclear vessel during maintenance. In the U.S. the spent fuel is kept inside the reactor vessel for maintenance, to give extra protection. See practices for storing spent fuel rods of China and Germany, which differ from Japan and US practice.

Nuclear Plants Fail to Report Defects, Report Says
Wall Street Journal 03/24/2011
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
