Fukushima I nuclear accident, March 11, 2011 What happened, why and a better design

Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant Boiling Water reactor Second most common reactor type

Boiling Water Reactor

What Happened and Why Earthquake, magnitude Tsunami, flooded the plant No power to the plant

Radioactive Contamination Measured as far away as 20 kilometres. Varying levels inside and around plant.

A New Reactor Design, Pebble Bed Reactors. Fuel contained in tennis ball sized pebbles Passive safety
