FUKUSHIMA-FIX

Save Fukushima = Save the Planet.

The Fukushima disaster refers to the nuclear accident on March 11, 2011, at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan. The disaster was caused by a powerful earthquake and tsunami that struck the coast of Japan and severely damaged the power plant.

The earthquake and tsunami caused widespread destruction and loss of life, and the subsequent failure of the plant’s cooling system led to a series of explosions and meltdowns in the plant’s reactors, releasing radioactive material into the environment. The disaster was the largest nuclear disaster since the Chornobyl disaster 1986 and has had significant environmental, health, and economic consequences.

The Fukushima disaster highlighted the potential dangers of nuclear power plants and the importance of safety measures in protecting against accidents and disasters. The tragedy has led to increased scrutiny of nuclear power plant safety and raised important questions about the role of atomic energy in the future. Watch the video

Fukushima situation:
March 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant suffered a severe accident following a massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami. The event led to a series of meltdowns, hydrogen explosions, and the release of radioactive materials into the environment. It was one of the worst nuclear disasters in history.

Since the accident, significant efforts have been made to stabilize the situation and mitigate the impact of the disaster. The immediate response included measures such as spraying water to cool the damaged reactors and constructing barriers to prevent further release of radioactive materials.

Over time, the focus shifted towards decommissioning the damaged reactors and cleaning up the affected area. This process is expected to take several decades due to the complexity and challenges involved.

Efforts have been made to contain and treat contaminated water used to cool the reactors. The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), the operator of the Fukushima Daiichi plant, has been storing the water in tanks and implementing a filtration system to remove most of the radioactive isotopes, with the exception of tritium. However, the decision on how to handle the treated water has been a subject of ongoing debate and discussions between the Japanese government, TEPCO, and stakeholders.

The impact on the surrounding areas and the people affected by the disaster has been significant. The government established evacuation zones and implemented measures to reduce radiation exposure. Some areas have been reopened for residents to return, while others remain restricted due to higher levels of contamination.
