aint gonna stop sea to land, land to land or air to land missiles. but nice of them to give an idea for would be home grown terrorists.

i guess they know what they are doing if they are starting MOX reactors on the Tokai fault expecting an M9 earthquake anytime.

The only way to effectively stop a drone attack is using a device designed to interrupt the signal between the drone and its controlller.

All they would have to do is knock out the coolant pumps, that's what happened at Fukushima.

When they held evacuation drill for the population of the area a few years ago it was a wash.

There was no way they could evacuate everyone quickly. Just too many people with few exits out of the area.

But they still restarted this plant anyway. I don't think the govt. has any choice but to hope there's no accident or attack.

It's really not safe for the people either way.

But will this new reactor never blow up as it still would go off with a mighty big release of radioactive particles in the event of failure . No matter how strong you build anything nature can destroy and so will some fools bomb from the north

There are also at least 150,000 North Koreans or North Korean supporters living here

You do know they've been here for a long, long time right? This is more fear mongering that's taken a page from americas scare mongering playbook!!

Yeah, well, isn't that great! How about drills for a more realistic scenario like, another tsunami?

So; have you positioned any Anti-Aircraft Batteries in the area?

Look at the officers outfit...... This should be the standard at all nuclear facilities..... The Fukushima Daiichi NPP workers are wearing kitchen clean up outfits compared to what this officer is wearing.... For Shame TEPCO and J Govt..... Where is the responsibility for the work force of nuclear facilities....

As we have already experienced, Japan has much more to fear from the local utilities playing the incompetence card while running those aged/aging nuclear plant than any potential terrorist, just saying...

Japan is woefully unprepared for real terror attacks.

Which is why it should be electing leadership that keeps it OUT of conflicts that will bring terrorists here.

Zichi

The officers lead-lined outerwear blocks gamma radiation. No suit can block a bomb explosion. The force of the explosion alone could rip a person to pieces..... Fukushima Daiichi had a triple explosion.... Lead-lined suits would have been welcome to a lot of the workers I bet.
