The Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear accident is a series of incidents, including four separate explosions, that took place at the Naraha nuclear power plant in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, following the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on March 11. 2011. The Fukushima nuclear facility was a nuclear power plant to convert nuclear energy into electrical energy.
The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (, Fukushima Daiichi Genshiryoku Hatsudensho) is a disabled nuclear power plant located on a 3.5-square-kilometre (860-acre) site in the towns of Ōkuma and Futaba in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.The plant suffered major damage from the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on March 11, 2011.

Fukushima wasn’t a “Japanese” nuclear accident—it was an accident that happened to occur in Japan. In fact, if exposed to similarly complex challenges, all 99 operating reactors in the United States would likely have similar outcomes. Worse, Japanese and U.S. regulators share a mindset that severe, supposedly “low probability” accidents are unlikely and not worth the cost and time ...
May 27, 2020· Fukushima accident, also called Fukushima nuclear accident or Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident, accident in 2011 at the Fukushima Daiichi (“Number One”) plant in northern Japan, the second worst nuclear accident in the history of nuclear power generation. The site is on Japan’s Pacific coast, in northeastern Fukushima prefecture about 100 km (60 miles) south of Sendai.
Background. The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant comprised six separate boiling water reactors originally designed by General Electric (GE) and maintained by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). At the time of the Tōhoku earthquake on 11 March 2011, Reactors 4, 5, and 6 were shut down in preparation for re-fueling. However, their spent fuel pools still required cooling.
However, the devastation left by the earthquake and tsunami is still prevalent today. On that fateful day in March 2011, a 9.0 earthquake created a 50 foot tsunami wave that smashed into the Fukushima power plant causing multiple nuclear reactor meltdowns.

Fukushima 50 is a pseudonym given by English-language media to a group of employees at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.Following the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011, a related series of nuclear accidents resulted in melting of the cores of three reactors. These 50 employees remained on-site after 750 other workers were evacuated.
There is a potential risk of human exposure to radiation owing to the March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. In this study, we evaluated radiation dose rates from deposited radiocesium in three areas neighboring the restricted and evacuation areas in Fukushima. The mean annual radiation dose rate in 2012 associated with the accident was 0.89–2.51 mSv/y.
The radiation effects from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster are the observed and predicted effects as a result of the release of radioactive isotopes from the Fukushima Daiichii Nuclear Power Plant following the 2011 Tōhoku 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami (Great East Japan Earthquake and the resultant tsunami). The release of radioactive isotopes from reactor containment vessels ...
La central nuclear Fukushima Dai-ichi o Fukushima I (, Fukushima Dai-Ichi Genshiryoku Hatsudensho?, Fukushima I NPP, 1F) es una planta nuclear con un conjunto de seis reactores de agua en ebullición, situada en la villa de Ōkuma en el distrito Futaba de la prefectura de Fukushima, en Japón.. Fue la primera construida y gestionada por la empresa Tokyo Electric ...
The decommissioning of the four crippled reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant will likely take more than 30 years to complete, according to a report by Japanese officials. The reactor building of Unit 3, as pictured on 24 September 2011, remains open to the atmosphere since an explosion on 14 March.
We analyzed sediment trap samples from this period after the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident in March 2011. Cesium-134 was detected in samples collected between May and July 2011 at a depth of 1100 m (4.2–11 mBq g-dry −1 ) but not …
The Fukushima disaster cleanup is an ongoing attempt to limit radioactive contamination from the three nuclear reactors involved in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster that followed the earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.The affected reactors were adjacent to one another and accident management was made much more difficult because of the number of simultaneous hazards …
“3.6 roentgen, not great, not terrible.” So goes the now-famous quip from the American HBO hit series Chernobyl.This line also bears relevance to Fukushima 50—the first blockbuster treatment of the world’s second-worst nuclear disaster at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi power plant.. Starring A-listers Ken Watanabe and Koichi Sato, the film lionizes the workers who prevented the Fukushima ...
