The Fukushima Nuclear Incident

November 25, 2022 Off By Zak Morris

At the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Kuma, Fukushima, Japan, a nuclear accident occurred in 2011. This incident is known as the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe. The protective sea wall was overtopped by the waves, flooding the plant and shutting down the backup generators. Workers hurried to restore electricity, but in the days that followed, three of the reactors’ nuclear fuel overheated and partially melted the cores, a nuclear meltdown.

The Fukushima nuclear accident was caused by a tsunami that hit the plant after an earthquake. The tsunami waves were higher than the plant’s sea wall, flooding the facility and shutting down the backup generators. This left the reactors without cooling water, causing the nuclear fuel to overheat and melt the cores.

This left the reactors without cooling water, causing the nuclear fuel to overheat and melt the cores.

This led to a release of radioactive materials into the environment, contaminating both air and water. Thousands of people were evacuated from their homes in the surrounding area, and many are still unable to return due to ongoing contamination concerns. The Fukushima nuclear accident was the worst nuclear disaster since the Chernobyl accident in 1986.
