The Nuclear Power Plant Visit

After the presentations of the morning, we went to the local nuclear power plant for lunch and then a tour. Tokai is best known for its nuclear power plant (they even had an accident several years ago-google Tokaimura and you will be able to read about it). We were kept in the tourist area of the nuclear plant-for some reason they did not let us wander around the reactor! But, it was interesting to hear about the plant. After that we went to the very impressive Tokaimura General Welfare Center (like a community center/YMCA) and the town library. The picture I have attached is from the lecture at the Tokaimura Nuclear Power Plant. The woman at the right is our translater.
