Last year's meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan has brought waves of international call to highlight the inadequate measures in dealing with the safety of nuclear facilities. However, despite warning from some experts, Washington maintains to keep the focus of this week's Nuclear Security Summit in South Korea on preventing terrorists from obtaining atomic materials.
Dr. Richard Weitz, a Senior Fellow of the Hudson Institute, explains.
"The nuclear security summit was set up specifically two years ago and this one as well to deal with the security of nuclear materials from terrorists. In terms of the atomic accident at Fukushima or elsewhere, that was done by the International Atomic Energy Agency. That's the right organ. That's the organization to deal with nuclear safety. The security summit has a different purpose.
