Japan’s nuclear crisis: The fine line between security and insecurity

Article Highlights

  • Japan, particularly after the oil crises of the 1970s, has relied on nuclear power as a means of providing energy security.
  • The national energy security the country has ensured, however, has also created other kinds of insecurity in terms of safety for its country.
  • The world should evaluate the need for a nuclear energy future, and should not forget the dangers involved in this energy source.
