NRA shows how it will train staff to respond to a nuclear crisis

The nation's nuclear watchdog showed off its new training facility that simulates the central control room of a nuclear power plant so key staff can respond better to an emergency.

The site, inside a building in Tokyo’s Minato Ward, was completed in February at a cost of 1.58 billion yen ($14.01 million). The Nuclear Regulation Authority showed it off to reporters on March 23.
