Overview Introduction Information About The Disaster Background Information About The Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant TEPCOs Safety and Ethical Decisions Why Is It Still In The News? United States Prevention Future Prevention Conclusion 2

Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant Disaster Took Place On: March 11th 2013 Where: Fukushima Daiichi Power Plant in Okuma, Japan Cause: The Tohoku earthquake and resulting tsunami What Happened: Damage only suffered from Tsunami Lower levels of plant were flooded Reactors 1, 2, and 3 melted down Hydrogen explosions 20km evacuations 3 (Wikipedia)

Background about Fukushima The Fukushima Power Plant is run by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). The boiling water nuclear power plant began operation in Plant is 3.5 million square meters and consists of 6 reactors. Uranium dioxide sintered pellets as fuel source. Max Capacity: 4,696 MW Annual Capacity: GW-h Power Plant generates 27% of TEPCOs nuclear power. 4

Background about Fukushima During initial construction,1966, the Isolation Condensing System (ICS) was changed from the original plans and merged with another system. In 1991 one of the backup power supply generators was flooded due to a cooling system leak. 5

Ethical Decisions By TEPCO TEPCO was a party in multiple scandals about inspections and safety regulations being falsified. In 2008 the International Atomic Energy Agency warned that the plants safety guidelines were outdated, TEPCO made no changes. TEPCOs own safety inquiry lead to a discovery that the plant could not withstand a 10m tsunami wave, again no action taken. Warnings from US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Industrial Safety Agency were neglected for back-up power. 6

Why is it still in the news? Improper Storage Tropical Storm Man-yi Health Risk 2020 Olympics 7 (Wikipedia)

What if it happens in the U.S.? Lessons from Fukushima U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 8

Future Preventions Nuclear reactors must be away from towns and villages. The nuclear area must be geographically stable. The need for appropriate cooling systems to avoid potential meltdowns. The reactor must have at least three days backup batteries. The need for further rules and regulations regarding the safety systems in place in all nuclear power plants. 9

Conclusion Factors leading to the disaster: Incorrect execution of construction plans. The plant was under-designed to withstand tidal levels. TEPCO ethically ignored numerous safety regulations. Only the tsunami damaged the plant. Overheating lead to nuclear meltdown, hydrogen explosions, and current radioactive waste leakage. Future Solutions; Regulations must be strictly applied to prevent incidents in the future that are based upon location, safety precautions, and failure plans. 10
