Trends+&+Contemporary+Issues

//Contemporary issues mean an issue that is ////existing, occurring, or living at the same time. The major contemporary issue is the Earthquake and Tsunami that attacked Japan just recently. It was the 4th largest earthquake ever recorded on the Richter scale. This Earthquake has also caused a problem in the country's nuclear plants. Seven nuclear power units automatically shut down after the Earthquake that hit Japan on March 11, 2011. This disaster left four million homes without power. Nuclear fuel from the plants needs to be cooled at all times. If they are not cooled it can cause the fuel to become radioactively hot. Three thousand people that live in a two mile radius of the plant were forced to evacuate their homes. //
