Abstract

The article offers information on the lessons learned from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, a March 2011 nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Ōkuma, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. It discusses that having paused after Fukushima, China's nuclear plans accelerated as part of an effort to reduce reliance on coal; and produced four times as much nuclear energy in 2019 as it did in 2011; it has 16 reactors under construction and another 39 planned.
