They say it is getting better and may be okay with in the next two weeks and they still are trying to push ocean water on the nuclear rods. (hope this helped)
They are 'mothballing' it. It is being decommissioned and made safe.
Japan has nuclear power plants but no nuclear weapons
There was a big earthquake that caused a huge tsunami, and their nuclear generators are overheating, if they explode, japan will be gassed with nuclear waste.
The problems currently being experienced are due to the combination of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami
The tsunami wiped out almost all of Japan knocking down many buildings such as skyscrapers and nuclear power plants that were operating in Japan. The tsunami destroyed the nuclear power plants and radiation leaked out which caused a raging panic among the people of Japan.

Absolutely. There was an earthquake of magnitude 9 which hit 4 nuclear power plants. Nuclear power is definitely technology, so the answer is yes.However, what most media focus on is some nuclear plants that withstood an earthquake a twice the designed magnitude, and nothing really serious happened. The earthquake and subsequent tsunami killed more then 10.000 Japanese and made many more homeless, so that should be much more important. And earthquakes and tsunamis are not technology related, so, if you consider the death toll, no what is happening in Japan is not technology related.
Some people do not agree with Japan building and using nuclear power plants because twenty percent of the worlds earthquakes occur in Japan which causes dangers for the people living in Japan.
They both cuased nuclear melt downs in power plants.
