Getting to see

So in August of 1992, I went to Genkai Nuclear Power plant with one of my host families (the father was the president of this nuclear power plant).

It was an educational experience and I gained more of an appreciation for nuclear power (I still have big problems with nuclear waste though).

This is the largest & most modern power plant on Kyushu. They apparently have a lot more features to offer at their tours now than when I was there, such as:

a Science Pavilion
a botanical garden
a souvenir shop, and more.

and admission is FREE
