Japan s Fukushima disaster has generated a massive debate about the safety of nuclear power, but not about nuclear weapons. Fear of a nuclear holocaust seems to have ended with the Cold War.

The storage of nuclear waste in some parts of the territory raised the spectre of ecological disaster.

In 2010, India s parliament passed the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill, a precondition for activating that agreement. But, following Japan s Fukushima nuclear disaster in March 2011, safety concerns surrounding nuclear power are large and mounting.

NEW DELHI Japan s nuclear disaster has fueled fear and uncertainty among all of the world s producers of nuclear power. For India, an energy starved country, much is at stake.

But in 2008, there isn't one single American city that has done effective plans to deal with a nuclear detonation disaster.

BERLIN The Fukushima disaster in March reminded the world, 25 years after Chernobyl, that nuclear energy is anything but clean, secure, and affordable. Unfortunately, another nuclear catastrophe was needed to trigger a fresh debate on the use of nuclear power.

BIRMINGHAM The dramatic events that unfolded at Japan s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant after last year s tsunami are commonly referred to as the Fukushima disaster. We need look no further than this description to begin to understand the significant misconceptions that surround nuclear energy.

The fear inspired by the Fukushima Daiichi disaster will be reflected in soaring costs for nuclear power worldwide, largely owing to demands for improved safety and the need to pay more to insure the potential risks. Indeed, nuclear plants are prone to a form of panic transference.

First, the tsunami disaster illustrated the lack of a systematic disaster management framework, including disaster mitigation measures, in many countries.

This is the largest metropolitan area disaster in decades, and it was not a natural disaster it was a disaster of engineering.

However, a perception of the magnitude of that threat has still not sufficiently penetrated the conscience of the international community, in spite of the fact that all are aware of the devastating effects of a nuclear disaster and the growing potential danger of the acquisition of nuclear weapons by terrorists.

Disaster risk reduction

Relevant United Nations organizations and donor Governments should strengthen the capacity of disaster prone countries in disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and post disaster recovery within a disaster risk reduction framework, by supporting relevant initiatives in this field.

Recognizing the clear relationship between development, disaster risk reduction, disaster response and disaster recovery and the need to continue to deploy efforts in all these areas,

3 Including ESCAP, ASEAN, the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center and the Asian Disaster Reduction Centre.

It has taken a tragedy of great proportions to prompt some leaders to act to avoid similar calamities at nuclear reactors elsewhere in the world. But it must not take another Hiroshima or Nagasaki or an even greater disaster before they finally wake up and recognize the urgent necessity of nuclear disarmament.

Recognizing also the clear relationship between development, disaster risk reduction, disaster response and disaster recovery and the need to continue to deploy efforts in all these areas,

The Asian Disaster Reduction Centre is a specialized organization for disaster reduction based in Kobe, Japan.

Bush s Second Gulf Disaster

That was a disaster.

C. Post disaster recovery

Would it be a great disaster if Iran had nuclear weapons? As a habitual contrarian, I pose the question because almost everyone seems to believe that it would, and that it must be prevented at all costs.

We recognize that the international community has accumulated much experience with disaster risk reduction through the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction and the succeeding International Strategy for Disaster Reduction.

Noting the ongoing work of all the working groups established by the Inter Agency Task Force for Disaster Reduction, namely the Working Group on Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction, the Working Group on Disaster Reduction in Africa, the Working Group on Risk, Vulnerability and Disaster Impact Assessment and the Working Group on the World Conference on Disaster Reduction,

The disaster confirmed the traditional view of Japan as a country that combines a dynamic private sector with an anemic public sector and central administration. The government s mistakes in so called risk communication regarding the Fukushima nuclear plant, and its slowness in getting necessary aid to people displaced by the disaster, have once again put the stereotype on full display.

The regional meetings were attended by disaster management officials from disaster prone and responding countries in the region.

We need a comprehensive strategy to achieve such disaster management including early warning systems and disaster preparedness plans.

Indeed, when compared to other energy sources, nuclear power ranks higher than oil, coal, and natural gas systems in terms of fatalities, second only to hydroelectric dams. There have been 57 accidents since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.

The millennium bug, terrible disaster.
