Japan

Japans earthquake affected so much and so many people. The death toll is inscreasing as is the number of missing people. Japan has three large Nuclear pwoer facilities that were greatly affected by the earthquake/tsunaatmi that hit Japan. The biggest one at risk is The Fukushima power plant. There could be a meltdown because of the coolants from the nuclear power. Because of the damage done to Japan, the nuclear plants are at risk to cause even more damage. The plants are like a tiger in a cage with the door open. The tiger could come out at any second that it chooses. That's the same with the nuclear power. It's sitting there, but at any moment, it could all come crashing down. This also affects the United States. The US has placed nuclear power plants mainly along oceans and near hurricane-prone places. If something similair happens to the US that happened to Japan, the US could also be in danger because of the nuclear power. The people that were close to the plants when the earthquake hit were given iodine tablets to prevent what the nuclear power could do to them. I think we should all try to help Japan out in some way, because we're all apart of this world and we need to help each other in times of need like Japan is going through.
