Fukushima nuclear power plant accident undermine confidence in the future of nuclear energy. The devastating earthquake in Japan may lead to a catastrophe similar to the accident at Chernobyl , Ukraine held on 26 April 1986.
U.S. nuclear experts have said the pumping of seawater for cooling nuclear reactors affected by the earthquake in Japan, is a desperate act to try to avoid a catastrophe similar to that of Chernobyl. They said that regardless of the manner in which the crisis will materialize Fukushima reactors, undermine confidence in future accident of nuclear energy.

Earthquake of 9 degrees on the Richter scale created a state of emergency at the nuclear reactor No. 1, where an explosion Saturday that caused the evacuation of 210,000 persons. Now in a state of alert and is No. 3 reactor, which took place today morning blast. The external and internal system fan not working. Physicist Ken Bergeron said that such a situation was anticipated by fear for decades now. "We are in unchartered territory" - the expert said. The reactors were stopped, but the residual heat can melt them.
Peter Bradford, who was part of the American commission for regulating the use of nuclear energy for cooling said that if efforts fail, then we can arrive at a situation like that of Chernobyl, where he was forced to resort to sand and cement europalibera reports.
The worst nuclear accident occurred at Chernobyl are not the force in 1986 was 400 times greater than that caused by the explosion of nuclear bomb on Hiroshima , which caused the evacuation of over 360,000 people and resulted in with thousands of deaths from exposure to radiation and the nuclear reactor at Three Mile where the plant near the city of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania suffers a partial melting and atmospheric radioactive material is released.
