What if?

As part of today’s class, Thursday 20th of October, we watched part of a BBC horizon documentary about nuclear power and how the disaster in Fukushima, Japan has affected people living there.

I learned some new things and I hope the students did also. The documentary seemed to be quite fair and gave a clear picture of what happened in Fukushima. This sort of information is becoming more and more relevant since the announcement of the construction of nuclear power plant in Pyhäjoki, some 20odd km north of Kalajoki.


We will be taking a break for a week now with the school having their autumn holidays. When we come back I hope to watch the rest of this documentary and then maybe do some research in nuclear power and try to understand how it can be a benefit and a hindrance for society. Big things to think about!
