Japan's Nuclear Problems

The tsunami in Japan was bad enough, but the nuclear problems it is having is much worse.  There have been fires and explosions from these nuclear reactors in Japan, and it is very unsafe.  Recently the level of risk for the nuclear issues was raised to 7, which is the highest level.  It has not been this high anywhere in the world since the Chernobyl disaster.  With all these problems, the world might be thinking about getting rid of all nuclear power.


I think this is obviously a terrible tragedy in Japan.  But the nuclear problems are there own faults.  They should have taken more caution when making these reactors.  If a country is intelligent enough to develop nuclear powers, it should know how to keep it safe too.  This should not keep any other countries from experimenting with nuclear power, unless it is for military purposes.  With that being said, it is our duty as the rest of the world to help the Japanese get back on their feet.  Some day the US will have a disaster, and we will depend on the rest of the world.
