Nuclear power presents several dangers to Japan. These include environmental impacts from radioactive contamination of plants, animals, and water bodies. Health impacts also arise as radiation can cause diseases like cancer and leukemia. Nuclear accidents are difficult to control and can result in many deaths, as seen at Chernobyl where 30 workers died immediately and thousands more later from health effects. Nuclear technology falling into the wrong hands also poses a national security risk. Nuclear power is also very expensive to establish and maintain. It is not a renewable resource as uranium must be continuously mined. Space is also a concern for Japan as more reactors require more land in a country where available space is limited. Many Japanese citizens oppose nuclear power due to these impacts and dangers

by splitting the nuclei of heavy elements such as uranium and plutonium. During the splitting or bust of nuclei from heavy elements like uranium and plutonium much energy is released in form of super heat. (This heat can be used to generate electrical power. Japan is the island country located at the northern part of Pacific Ocean. Japan found at the Eastern part of North and South Korea. Japan as a nation affected greatly by nuclear power especially during the Second World War. The following are the eight dangers of nuclear power to the country like japan:- Environmental impacts: the nuclear radioactivity can harm the plants, animals, water bodies etc. for example the radioactivity leaked to the air, soil and sea during Fukushima nuclear accident 2011, led burned of shipments, vegetables and fish in Japan. Health impact: nuclear energy is not healthy friend to the human being. As the nuclear radiation may result chronic diseases like leukemia, cancer, respiratory disease etc. as the cancer rate among population living in proximity to Fukushima and Chernobyl especially children rose significantly in the years after incidents. Nuclear accident may result death: normally the nuclear accidents are not easily controllable. As most of the time nuclear accident caused by natural disasters which uncontrollable. For example in 1986 about 30 employees died after huge explosion in Chernobyl nuclear disaster Ukraine also about 50000 people died and the other 2.5 million Ukrainians are still dealing with the health tribulations associated with nuclear weapons. National insecurity. When the nuclear rest on wrong hands may lead great disaster to the nation. For example terrorists may use nuclear to creates nuclear weapons and harm civilians also terrorists may disturb the nuclear plants hence national disaster. It is economic costful: the nuclear power production may sound good in economy, but in fact it risk for the country’s economy as it uses about 9$ to 10$ billion dollars to establish. Also the reactors maintenance is very costiful. Nuclear power is not renewable resource: this means that the daily mining on uranium is needed to ensure constant availability of nuclear power hence it is more time use resource unlike renewable resource. Large land space occupation: land is very important resource to support many economic activities. There the country like Japan is n danger land shortage due increasing number of nuclear reactor stations with regard that Japan is an island where its large area is mountainous region. Nuclear power influence riots and oppositions from civilian: following the great impact and danger of nuclear. Many japans citizens are against it. For example the nuclear bombs dropped at Nagasaki and Hiroshima became the lesson to Japanese. Apart from that the Fukusima nuclear accident which result many people to be evicted from their region led faithless toward the Japanese government, as about 100000 people evacuated from their home as to avoid nuclear danger. Therefore; the location with nuclear power in japan can be shown through the following sketch map:- Generally; nuclear power is not only dangers but also good as it has many significance to the economy of japan, such significances are like It generates the electricity power, It enhances industrial, It generates government income and it increases the country’s status in political power.
