After the devastating Earthquake that shook Japan earlier in March, The Fuskashima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant's cooling systems for 3 reactors were damaged my the massive 8.9 Earthquake on The Richter Scale. Engineers say that they have successfully planted a power line to Reactor Number 2. This means that hopefully soon the reactor's cooling system can be up, and running soon again. Without the cooling systems, the reactors then went in a partial melt-down. People were told to evacuate the area 20km around The Fukishima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Engineers, and the workers of The Nuclear Power Plant have been working on the situation since The Earthquake. Crews have been trying to dump water from the air to try, and cool off the reactors. As for the rest of Japan, the are still feeling aftershocks up, to last week, and maybe more, and last week, officials said that the death toll will rise over 10,000, hopefully it does not exceed that number.I believe that the workers at The Fukishima Daiichi Nuclear power Plant are doing an excellent job at trying to restore the power plant to it's normal self, or at least bring the risk level down a bit for the citizens of Japan, and especially the people who live in the surrounding area. These workers are risking themselves being exposed to high levels of radiation while trying to restore safety in the reactors. I believe that these workers should be provided with some sort of special benefits for them, and their families. These workers are risking their health to help many other people in Japan, and if that does not show true bravery, then I am not sure what is true bravery. I hope that Japan can overcome this disaster, and for the future, there is nothing you can do to prevent an earthquake, but you can have a plan ready for the next one, and hopefully that is what Japan will come up with in the future.
