Ivan Li and Kyle Krogman

 Nuclear reactor meltdown on March 11 th 2011 near Fukushima, Japan  An earthquake and the following tsunami knocked out electrical power, which in turn knocked out the cooling systems.  Unit 1, 2, and 3 reactors exploded  Backup generators failed, causing nuclear meltdown  Second worst nuclear disaster in history, after Chernobyl.

 Units 5 and 6 were in shutdown  A Tsunami study was ignored in Study said if a tsunami hit catastrophic results could occur.  International Atomic Energy Agency told Japan that a earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 or higher would pose a serious risk to their nuclear plants in  Backup generator of unit 1 was flooded before in 1991.

 Used seawater to cool before backup generators were working again.  Released about 1/10 th the radiation at Chernobyl  People 20km from the disaster were evacuated  An estimated 300 workers have experienced significant radiation (more than a lifetime dose).  Plant declared stable on December 16, 2011
