Nuclear Containers in Japan

Japan is taking extra precautions in regards to nuclear materials containers, recently there has been a push for tougher rules regarding the transportation of nuclear goods. Due to anticipation of an increase in transportation, Japan has decided that tougher rules need to be created in order to insure safety of its citizens. Japantoday.com states that the Industrial Safety Agency will create methods that will measure the safety of these nuclear containers alongside the Japan Nuclear Energy Safety Organization. Along with these changes, Japan is in need of newer transportation modes following the recent increase in nuclear activities. Japan will also be in cohorts with both Europe and the US, as far as the collection of relevant data. Nearly 62 years after the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the US, Japan is forging ahead in their foreign relations and seeking to confide in the United States. All things considered, I find this to be a remarkable accomplishment, yet if I were the United States I would definitely keep both eyes and ears wide open.
