One year on... By Alexandre



This article, written by a BBC website journalist, deals with the first anniversary of the devastating earthquake, tsunami, and meltdown of the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan. Everybody remembers this dramatic event...

The Prime Minister and the Emperor were present at the main memorial ceremony in Tokyo. The Japanese will never forget the thousands of dead and missing. A minute of silence was held everywhere in the country and the warning sirens sounded.

Decontamination of the area, destruction of the ruins, and reconstruction will take time. Many people have lost their homes.

I think that there is a ray of hope for all the victims. Japan is economically well off and Japanese people can look positively to the future.
