Week 10

Japan has been faced with disaster this past week. They have seen an earthquake and a tsunami destroy their country. Now, Japan's nuclear reactors are blowing up and sending radiation waves through cities. People and everything in its path are being affected by the radiation. The third reactor was said to blow up soon, but now they are saying that it is cooling down.

I don't really think that Japan will be able to completely cool down the reactor. I don't think that anyone can control a nuclear reactor after an earthquake and a tsunami have struck it. Japan might be able to cool it down some, but it will probably heat back up. It also says that they are building an 8-foot wall to protect the people from the reactor if it were to explode.  I don't think the wall will do that much if it were to explode. They should use more protection than that if they want to be safe.
