Symposium: Earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear Crisis: Analyzing Disaster
in Japan
On March 11th, a magnitude 9.0 megathrust earthquake struck off the
coast of northern Japan. In the quake and the ensuing tsunami,
thousands have lost their lives and more are stranded without help.
The ensuing failure of the cooling systems at the Fukushima Nuclear
Power Plant have led to an unprecedented challenge for Japan. This
panel discussion, moderated by Jun Saito, Assistant Professor of
Political Science at Yale, reviews special features of the disaster,
analyzes what went wrong in the nuclear power plant, and investigates
the implications for the future of Japan and the world. Following the
panelist presentations, there will be a discussion of what the Yale
community can do for disaster relief and prevention, as well as a
candlelight vigil for victims and their families on Cross Campus at
8:30 PM.
