Japan’s Nuclear Crisis
March 16, 2011

In spite of the “sickening human and social devastation on full display” in northern Japan, moderator
Richard Samuels wonders, “Is it possible to follow the train of cause and effect into the future…imagining 
what happens from here on?” In this session convened just days after the March 11th earthquake and tsunami, 
panelists bring eyewitness accounts as well as expert testimony on the current nuclear crisis and possible 
future developments in Japan.

"Whether we choose to use nuclear power depends on how much we value its benefits... I don’t know 
how we’ll decide this. We have had a continuing discussion for the past 40 years, without a 
conclusive resolution. I expect it will continue ... In our society, we never nail down these sorts of things."
-Michael Golay
