Fukushima Disaster in Japan

The damaged Fukushima Daiichi plant was the one that was struck the worst. It was emitting high levels of radiation and gasses that the workers inside were urged to evacuate and cease all work. The radiation levels rose to 10 millisievert per hour, which is about half the allowed quantity averaged per year in a five-year plan in most countries Get price

Comparing Fukushima and Chernobyl

The 2011 nuclear accident at Fukushima Daiichi and the 1986 incident at Chernobyl were both rated 7 on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale, but the accidents were starkly different in their cause, the governments' response and health effects. Get price

Fukushima

Three nuclear reactor buildings at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station (Fuku) blew apart following the Great East Japan Earthquake and resulting tidal wave in 2011. Nuclear fuel was thrown into the air, onto the land and into the Pacific Ocean. The roofs and floors of the three reactors were destroyed. The plant owner poured millions of tons of water on the bottoms of each reactor to keep Get price

Summary

The March 11, 2011, Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami sparked a humanitarian disaster in northeastern Japan and initiated a severe nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. Three of the six reactors at the plant sustained severe core damage and released hydrogen and radioactive materials. Explosion of the released hydrogen damaged three reactor buildings and impeded onsite Get price
