March 11, 2011 14:46:24 and consequences

The Tohoku triple disaster- impact on Tokyo:

For period of several weeks there were frequent and strong after quakes, and great uncertainty over the nuclear fallout situation. Companies were faced with the decision whether to relocate away from Tokyo for business continuity reasons and care for employees, or to remain in Tokyo to continue business and customer service – we here at Eurotechnology stayed in Tokyo for our customers, and signed a contract with a Swiss customer (market entry into Japan for mobile phone base station high precision components) a few days after March 11. Based on deep expert physics knowledge we analyzed the radiation load in Tokyo, and we heard that many companies used our analysis as input for their relocation decision making. Some of our newsletters and analysis is summarized here:

Understanding the causes for the Fukushima nuclear disaster:
