Previously, the commission held that the amount of radiation released from FDI warranted only a level 5 designation on the International Nuclear Event Scale (which runs from 1 to 7).
FORBES: Japanese Commission: Nuclear Crisis as Bad as Chernobyl
The legislation also expressly provided for a resumption of U.S. nuclear testing in the event that other nuclear powers conducted tests.
That is why, says Yasunari Fujimoto of Gensuikin, an anti-nuclear group that planned the event, the demonstrators' demand is not to do away with nuclear power immediately, even though his organisation favours that.
For example, a home shelter, he says, should be able to serve as a storm shelter against hurricanes, a pantry, a secure room for storing weapons, and as a fallout bunker in the event of nuclear attack.
Rather than installing automatic response systems, the plant would rely on employees to perform a series of complex manual actions, which the NRC has not authorized as a means of adequately protecting nuclear facilities in the event of a fire.
The Security Council also committed to take additional measures in the event of another nuclear test or launch.
Its workers, who were sworn to secrecy, could have survived down here for three months in the event of a nuclear attack.
And during the Cold War, the U.S. government set up an underground bunker from which to operate in the event of a nuclear attack.
In fact, a stock can go to zero (remember a company called Enron?) while it would take a catastrophic event (think nuclear annihilation or an asteroid hitting the earth) for the same to happen to the stock market as a whole.
Mayor Kazumi Matsui called for a nuclear-free world at the event at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.
In addition, although their operations were not affected, twelve other nuclear-power plants declared unusual event occurrences, according to the EAD.
And like their counterparts in Pakistan, these forces will be strengthened, not weakened in the event that Iran acquires nuclear weapons.
That is, the Obama administration is forcing Israel to weigh the specter of a nuclear-armed Iran against the threat of an abrogation of its strategic alliance with the US in the event that it prevents Iran from becoming a nuclear power on its own.
Walt and Mearshimer argue that Iran is not a threat to US interests or to global security because in the event that the mullahs acquire nuclear weapons, they are likely to view them merely as a deterrent against Iran's enemies.
Might this event be the catalyst that kills the nuclear power industry?
The security meeting is an annual public event, which takes place at a different nuclear site across the UK each year.
The answer is yes -- each one of them is designed to withstand an earthquake, without releasing any radioactive materials at all, up to the maximum projected seismic event at that plant, according to the Nuclear Energy Institute, an industry group in Washington.
On August 30th India's upper house passed a nuclear-liability law that will make suppliers of nuclear fuels and related gear liable for 80 years in the event of any malfunction.
Its essential policy is to have sufficient forces to inflict heavy casualties on any attacker in the event of a war, while relying upon its nuclear forces to deter any conflict in the first place.
The IAEA charter stipulates that in the event that there is any evidence that a state signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is acting in a non-transparent manner regarding its nuclear activities, that state must be referred to the Security Council.
For example, the United States is working closely with Russia to reach an agreement that would establish links between our computer emergency response teams and our nuclear risk reduction centers to build cooperation and to set up lines of communication in the event of an alarming incident.
Several other non-nuclear power generators along the East Coast were tripped, meaning they were automatically shut down by the seismic event.
That event propelled the movie into a box office hit, and the coincidence of a well-made fictional film with a real-life event with a very similar plot line led to a huge increase of public fears around the safety of nuclear power, and likely set the nuclear power industry back by decades.
