The proximate cause of the accident was the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami , which resulted in electrical grid failure and damaged nearly all of the power plant's backup energy ...
The 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, the worst nuclear incident in 25 years, displaced 50,000 households after radioactive material leaked into the air, soil and sea. [1] Radiation checks led to bans on some shipments of vegetables and fish. [2] Map of contaminated areas around the plant (22 March – 3 April).
Overview map showing evacuation and other zone progression and selected radiation levels. 05:30: In order to release some of the pressure inside the containment at unit 1, the decision is made to vent some of the steam (which contained a small amount of radioactive material) into the air, despite the risk of hydrogen (produced from the water in ...
The 9.0 magnitude quake and tsunami that ravaged parts of Japan’s northeastern coast on March 11, 2011 killed about 20,000 people and drove thousands from their homes in the prefectures of ...
The Fukushima Daiichi plant is connected to the power grid by four lines, the 500 kV Futaba Line (双葉線), the two 275 kV Ōkuma Lines (大熊線) and the 66 kV Yonomori Line (夜の森線) to the Shin-Fukushima (New Fukushima) substation. The Shin-Fukushima substation also connects to the Fukushima Daini plant by the Tomioka Line (富岡線).
