Japan Vows to Stabilize Nuclear Plant in 6 to 9 Months

Japan said that it will stabilize and shut down the nuclear plants in 6 to 9 months as planned. The effects of the plant has caused two more towns around the nuclear plant to be evacuated for concern of people having contracted nuclear diseases. The governments timeline was questioned when they found out that the damage on the plant was worse then they expected. There has been a slight bit of good news though; one of the reactors has cooled down to 100C this is close to the shutdown for the reactor. All towns within a 20km radius have been evacuated and the people within these towns have been adjusting to the lifestyle of living in the evacuation centers.


I think that the goal of 6 to 9 months is reasonable goal for the Japanese. These people have been thrown out of their home for their own safety. These people shouldn't to live in evacuation centers that is why it is important for the government to get these people back to their homes and fix the problems with the nuclear plants.
