English Academic Writing - Exercise II

When the tsunami struck the Fukushima nuclear power plant in 2011, the public’s attitude to nuclear power plant changed overnight. People came to realize that it was neither safe nor clean. They also realized that it was not even cheap when the costs of storing used fuel and cleaning up after an accident were taken into consideration. As a result of the disaster, the governments of Germany and France decided to review their policies and scale down their dependence on the nuclear power. In contrast, the Japanese government has not yet started a clear policy on power generation. Following the disaster at Fukushima, all nuclear power plant were shut down, but some were started up again one year later. One thing that is abundantly clear is that many more Japanese people are opposed to nuclear power than ever before.
