Japan has decided to restart one of its nuclear reactors, despite commemorating the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. An environmental nonprofit criticized this decision, noting the Japanese prime minister had previously claimed Japan would not be involved in nuclear projects. Restarting the nuclear reactor demonstrates that Japan has not learned from either being victims of nuclear weapons or the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, the worst nuclear accident in history. The risks and costs of nuclear power generation far outweigh any benefits due to the potential for human errors and negligence to cause catastrophic accidents and loss of life.
