    The document is a translated excerpt from a book that is critical of nuclear power plants in Japan. It discusses issues with safety, inspections, earthquake preparedness, the use of amateur workers in construction, radiation leaks into the sea and internally, lack of plans for decommissioning reactors and nuclear waste storage, and discrimination faced by people living near plants. The author worked in the nuclear industry for 20 years but now wants to share the realities of nuclear power that most people are unaware of, since architects and policymakers do not have experience with actual plant construction.

    Chapter 1
    I am not an activist of anti-nuclear power plant.

    I’m not anti-nuclear power plant. For 20 years, I myself worked

    at nuclear power plant. These are so many arguments about

    power plant, like it is safe or danger. Some show disagreement

    about NPP(Nuclear Power Plant). Let me talk the truth of

    nuclear power plant. Because of most people are ignorant about

    NPP.

    Please listen to me.

    At last, NPP reveals itself. You might know every day by day,

    new victims of radiation and discriminations are emerged.

    So many stories that I’ m writing are unfamiliar. I beg please

    think it deeply by yourself after finish to read my whole story.

    Many architects talk about nuclear power plant. However no

    constructor has chance to talk about NPP(nuclear power plant).

    Without knowing field of construction, truth of NPP remain

    uncover.
    My profession is plumbing, especially gigantic plant like

    chemical facilities. Late 20’s years old of mine, I was recruited

    for fist NPP constructing in Japan. I worked as field-chief so that

    I know almost everything inside of NPP.

    Chapter 2

    “Safety” is a story of armchair.
