Abstract

Japan's prime minister decided on the resumption of nuclear power plant operations. Following an accident at Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in March 2011, it has not been clarified where melted-down fuel rods leaked to and what their current status is. Nevertheless, Japan is going to resume nuclear plant operations. This paper summarizes the progress in handling the accident during the past one-and–a-half years, analyzes the status of nuclear plants in Japan and presents scientific views on the resumption of their operations.
