Pak can't handle Fukushima-like disaster

Nuclear enabled countries have been doing security checks post Fukushima. This is the scene in Pakistan.

Paknuclear physicist Pervez Hoodbhoy has said that the country must downsize its nuclear fission power production, as the country cannot handle a crisis like that caused by the stricken Fukushima power plant in Japan, whose radioactivity emission threatened a major disaster

"Japan's nuclear disaster should open our eyes. Japan is an advanced industrialised country with superior engineering knowledge and practices. It has a safety culture, Pakistan does not,' Hoodbhoy, who holds a PhD from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said.
