An Ice wall

Japan building mile-long ice wall around Fukushima plant to stop radiation leaks...

 FUKUSHIMA ICE WALL

The Space Age in Architecture.





                   Congratulations to Japan! 

For two and a half years, Japan has had little cause for joy. With the Great Tohoku Earthquake and the ensuing tsunami, Japan is still trying to complete the cleaning work and the reconstruction needed.
But unfortunately, these catastrophes triggered the ongoing nuclear disaster in Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear power plant owned by Tokyo Electric Company (TEPCO) which recently declared it needed help from the world:  http://japandailypress.com/tepco-looks-for-international-help-in-cleaning-up-fukushima-mess-2334476/
Let's only hope this international help comes together as quickly as it should to find solutions for the Daiichi continuing crisis.

But for now, Japanese people find real cause for joy. TOKYO 2020
