Prologue : my nuclear nightmare -- Memories from the abyss -- Taking action before stepping down -- The road to a nuclear-free Japan.
On March 11, 2011, a massive undersea earthquake off Japan's coast triggered devastating tsunami waves that in turn caused meltdowns at three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Ranked with Chernobyl as the worst nuclear disaster in history, Fukushima will have lasting consequences for generations. Until then, Japan's Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, had supported the use of nuclear power. His position would undergo a radical change, however, as he watched the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima No. 1 Power Plant unfold and came to understand the potential for the physical, economic, and political destruction of Japan. In 'My Nuclear Nightmare', Kan offers a fascinating day-by-day account of his actions in the harrowing week after the earthquake struck.
