It's been almost a year since a devastating earthquake and tsunami crippled Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex, leaving the country's once popular energy program in shambles. In response, Germany decided to abandon nuclear energy entirely. Should the U.S. follow suit?

Reports on the Fukushima disaster are incomplete and often contradictory. Frontline fixes that by presenting a solid story told through interviews conducted by a single reporter -- and lots of video. Some scenes look like they were taken from an SF disaster film. Animations clarify details that cannot be seen. This is a well made DVD program that will make you the local expert on the matter.

Difficult questions face our world of ever-higher rates of energy consumption. Is nuclear energy still a viable option? The Germans dont think so; should we?
