LNG's role in meeting power demand in Japan after the Fukushima nuclear crisis

摘要

It is just over five months since the Great East Japan Earthquake caused death and devastation along the north-east coast of Japan's main island Honshu and triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis since the disaster at Chernobyl a quarter of a century ago. The clean-up operation continues, but many people remain in temporary shelter in the towns worst affected by the tsunami, which followed the magnitude-9 earthquake on March 11. At the Fukushima Oai-ichi plant, where the tsunami knocked out back-up systems designed to keep the reactors cool, technicians are still battling to stop radioactive leaks.
