The earthquake and tsunami triggered the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl.
These publications were selected from amongst a large number that were screened for their relevance. TEPCO reported irregular readings from sensors monitoring water at the Fukushima Daiichi plant but did not confirm whether any radioactive water leaked into the sea. The piping facility in the building, the facilities for the external power supply and backup power were destroyed. The chain of events caused radiation leaks and permanently damaged several reactors, making them impossible to restart. I thought it was 100% safe.LONSDORF: But now, like a lot of Japan, he doesn't want anything to do with it.KAZUO: (Through interpreter) I'm afraid of nuclear power. Following a major earthquake, a 15-metre tsunami disabled the power supply and cooling of three Fukushima Daiichi reactors, causing a nuclear accident on March 11, 2011. On 11 March 2011, the Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear power plant suffered major damage from the failure of equipment after the magnitude 9.0 great east-Japan earthquake and subsequent tsunami. About 240,000 items mostly related to the nuclear crisis have been collected for the three-story museum. He says that the disaster in Fukushima made people completely rethink the cost of nuclear power in broader terms.TATSU: The social cost of separation from family, losing the land, losing their jobs - how can you measure all of these impacts, estimating the risk of nuclear power?LONSDORF: But, Suzuki says, the choice is still a difficult one when you factor in climate change and needing to reduce the use of fossil fuels. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant accident has had an impact on the development of nuclear power around the world. That is a question Japan has been trying to answer since 2011, when an earthquake triggered a massive tsunami that overwhelmed the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. This is all just a taste of what it means to decommission Daiichi, which will take an estimated 40 years and nearly $200 billion, to produce no electricity at all.The rest of Japan's nuclear power program isn't faring a whole lot better. About 1,050 people visited on opening day.At an opening ceremony, museum director Noboru Takamura said, "It has already been nine and a half years since the accident. Nearly a decade later, the energy-poor country is grappling with how to power one of the world's largest economies.The 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan changed the country in many ways.

The fellowship supports reporting from undercovered parts of the world. The aftermath of the Japan Nuclear Crisis and the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster is that a radius of 50km around the plants is supposedly contaminated with high levels of radioactive caesium and even at the end of the year xenon, another radioactive element, was … Museum on nuclear accident opens in Fukushima The Great East Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Disaster Memorial Museum is located in Futaba Town, where an … Okawa was a maintenance man at those reactors in 2011. Down by the reactors, though - the ones that exploded - levels are still high, and visiting time to them is limited.
