Q&A: Radiation in Japan

(04/06/11 9:10am)

Large areas along the Japanese coast were devastated by an earthquake and resulting tsunami March 11. The disaster disabled the cooling systems of the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, which caused some degree of meltdown in three of the plant’s reactors. The explosions triggered fears of radiation-related illnesses and international concern over the safety of nuclear energy. Almost one month after the earthquake, The Chronicle’s Matt Barnett spoke with radiation safety expert Dr. Robert Reiman, general secretary of the Duke University Medical Center’s Radiation Safety Committee.
