20 Nuclear Power Problems in Brazil Brazil has no contingency plan for evacuation of the city of Angra dos Reis if a problem similar to what happened at Japan s Fukushima plant were to occur. The Angra emergency plan establishes removal of the population a total of 15 thousand people in a 5 km radius from the plants, which is the minimum required by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The problem that the Fukushima accident highlighted: the dependence on pumping water in order to cool the reactor so as to prevent the fuel rods from melting. The electric transmission lines may knock down due to landslides, with a supply system failure, similar to what s happened at the Fukushima plants in Japan. Built near the shore, the plants also run the risk of landslides damaging auxiliary facilities, such as waste deposits.
