Appearing on BBC World News America, Carnegie’s James Acton said that Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant is stable unless there is another large earthquake or tsunami. A new report on the March 11, 2011 nuclear accident shows that the Japanese government withheld vital information at the time, but the impact of that report remains to be seen, Acton said. He reiterated that the key risk now for the plant is another freak earthquake or tsunami.
