Influence: – Health – Economy – Transportation – Electricity – Telecommunications

Nuclear Energy — Crisis in Japan Earthquake and tsunami Creating the worst nuclear crisis A series of explosions and fires  the release of radioactive gases.

Feeding on fallout Fukushima nuclear power plant  lingering effects of radiation emitted  how safe is the Japanese food supply? radioactive material contaminated  tap water, milk, spinach, seawater near the plant

Official government: amounts of radioactive material infiltrating water and crops relatively small
