Kan compared the potential worst-case devastation that could be caused by a nuclear power plant meltdown as tantamount only to 'a great world war. Nothing else has the same impact.' Japan escaped such a dire fate during the Fukushima disaster, said Kan, only 'due to luck.' Even so, Kan had to make some steely-nerved decisions that necessitated putting all emotion aside. In a now famous phone call from Tepco, when the company asked to pull all their personnel from the out-of-control Fukushima site for their own safety, Kan told them no. The workforce must stay. The few would need to make the sacrifice to save the many. Kan knew that abandoning the Fukushima Daiichi site would cause radiation levels in the surrounding environment to soar. His insistence that the Tepco workforce remain at Fukushima was perhaps one of the most unsung moments of heroism in the whole sorry saga."-The EcologistOn 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 3.11, Japan's Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, had supported the use of nuclear power. His position would undergo a radical change, however, as Kan 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. He records the anguished decisions he had to make as the scale of destruction became clear and the threat of nuclear catastrophe loomed ever larger-decisions made on the basis of information that was often unreliable. For example, frustrated by the lack of clarity from the executives at Tepco, the company that owned the power plant, Kan decided to visit Fukushima himself, despite the risks, so he could talk to the plant's manager and find out what was really happening on the ground. As he details, a combination of extremely good fortune and hard work just barely prevented a total meltdown of all of Fukushima's reactor units, which would have necessitated the evacuation of the thirty million residents of the greater Tokyo metropolitan area.In the book, first published in Japan in 2012, Kan also explains his opposition to nuclear power: "I came to understand that a nuclear accident carried with it a risk so large that it could lead to the collapse of a country." When Kan was pressured by the opposition to step down as prime minister in August 2011, he agreed to do so only after legislation had been passed to encourage investments in alternative energy. As both a document of crisis management during an almost unimaginable disaster and a cogent argument about the dangers of nuclear power, My Nuclear Nightmare is essential reading. 606 $aFukushima Nuclear Disaster, Japan, 2011 606 $aNuclear power plants$xAccidents$zJapan 606 $aNuclear energy$xGovernment policy$zJapan 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFukushima Nuclear Disaster, Japan, 2011. 615 0$aNuclear power plants$xAccidents 615 0$aNuclear energy$xGovernment policy 676 $a363.17/990952117 700 $aKan$b Naoto$f1946-$01022933 702 $aIrish$b Jeffrey S. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466062603321 996 $aMy nuclear nightmare$92460133 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03858nam 2200685 450 001 9910787135603321 005 20230124192749.0 010 $a1-5017-5790-3 010 $a1-60909-057-8 024 7 $a10.1515/9781501757907 035 $a(CKB)3710000000274800 035 $a(EBL)3382564 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001349335 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12525994 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001349335 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11398601 035 $a(PQKB)10772475 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3382564 035 $a(OCoLC)868220233 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse29655 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3382564 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10950048 035 $a(OCoLC)923310867 035 $a(DE-B1597)572270 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781501757907 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000274800 100 $a20141015h20122012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 04$aThe science and theology of Godly love /$fedited by Matthew T.

They do so within the context of the interdisciplinary study of Godly Love, which examines the perceived experience of loving God, being loved by God, and thereby being motivated to engage in selfless service to others. This volume serves as an introduction to and a call for further research in this new field of study, offering ten methodological perspectives on the study of Godly Love written by leading social scientists and theologians.Drawing on the work of Douglas Porpora and others, the contributors contend that agnosticism is the appropriate methodological stance when religious experience is under the microscope. Godly Love does not force a theistic explanation on data, instead these essays show that it sensitizes researchers so that they can take seriously the faith and beliefs of those they study without the assumption that these theologies represent an incontestable truth. 606 $aGod$xWorship and love 606 $aGod$xLove 606 $aReligion and science 610 $aDouglas Porpora, agnosticism. 615 0$aGod$xWorship and love. 615 0$aGod$xLove. 615 0$aReligion and science. 676 $a231/.6 702 $aLee$b Matthew T.$f1972- 702 $aYong$b Amos 702 $aFauci$b Julia 702 $aAlexander$b Paul 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787135603321 996 $aThe science and theology of Godly love$93836260 997 $aUNINA
