As we learn from past history, the US has decided to rethink the ways of answering to a nuclear disaster. Rather than think immediate-emergency responses, our government is trying to come up with long-term cleanup strategies instead. Recently in Japan, an earthquake damaged a nuclear plant and forced 160,000 people out of their homes. The question remains of how quickly it will be possible for those families to return home. Now there is a constant debate on whether the nuclear industry is being "overly protective" or not. I personally believe one can not be careful enough when talking about nuclear activity. This is one of the most dangerous industries and deserves to be handled carefully.
