The nuclear reactors were part of the deal. You are seeing a new version of the same thing happening in NZ since 1980 or so if you're not blind and wrapped up in the local good vibes from the political parties who were until recently following by rote the missives from the right wing american think tanks. So as asked earlier. Do you have a source ( link ) Reactors, Japanese, Americans? |

| 1185386 | 2011-03-15 08:52:00 | Have a look here: openchannel.msnbc.msn.com online.wsj.com I think this time ZQ is a bit fanatically biased. Whilst the US did indeed set up Japan after the war, as they did Germany, the Japs very soon were showing the US how things were done, how QA should be operated etc etc. By the 70s they had all but knocked out US ball bearing manufacture for instance by first of all undercutting on price, and then setting up their own factories in the US. In machine tools and measuring equipment they purchased the best from the west, like Taylor-Hobson roundness machines and Leitz - Wetzlar 3D Coordinate measuring machines, and then used that technology to mass produce and sell to the west products like Mitutoyo measuring equipment. We all know they know a bit about making cars.........poor GM how sad never mind........... |

| 1185388 | 2011-03-15 09:42:00 | Yes the USA helped Japan get going after the war. 'But I don't know much about the nuclear industry then. Just to know that Japan has no natural resources so that is why they have a third of their power from nuclear. The same with France. And I believe that Toshiba make and export nuclear power plants. |

| 1185389 | 2011-03-15 09:44:00 | I just read that the power station had 800 workers. They have sent them all home just leaving 50 to look after the pumps ! They have asked for overseas help. Would you like to be flown into that site ! ? |
