In the days after the nuclear
accident Fukushima, radiation
released to the atmosphere forced
the government to declare an
ever-larger evacuation zone
around the plant Fukushima
The nuclear disaster Fukushima
happened in a city called Ōkuma
in Japan.
It all started with a
wave that started on
11 march 2011 there
was a catastrophic
earthquake that
struck 370 km
northeast of Tokyo
the wave started to build in height
the earthquake had so much
power it permanently moved the
main island of Japan (Honshu)
more than 2 meters to the east.
By the time the tsunami reached
the Japanese east coast the water
was around 40 meters high.
In the days after the accident,
radiation released to the
atmosphere forced the
government to declare an everlarger
evacuation zone around
then nuclear power plant.
Deaths: there has been 1 death by
cancer because of the radiation.
Injuries: there have been 16
physical injuries due to hydrogen
explosions and 2 workers have
been taken to the hospital with
possible radiation burns.
On the 5th of July 2012 the
national diet of Japan Fukushima
nuclear disaster independent
investigation commission (NAIIC)
found that the causes of the
nuclear disaster were foreseeable
and that the plant operator Tokyo
electric power company (TEPCO)
had failed the basic safety
requirements such as risk
assessment, preparing for
containing collateral damage and
developing evacuation plans.
Immediately after the earthquake
radio-active gases (xenon) are
measured: the reactor is leaking.
Within hours, the fuel - due to the
failure of the cooling systems and
the evaporation of cooling water –
melts completely. The molten
nuclear fuel first accumulates at
