Construction for the Fukushima Daiichi plant began on July 25, 1967. The first reactor to go on line was Unit 1, commissioned on March 26, 1971.
At the time of the meltdowns, the plant had been in operation for almost 40 years.
It happened on March 11th, 2011 at 2:46 local time.
Fukushima is not an event that happened, it is a place, a prefecture, or district, in Japan. There are two Fukushima nuclear power plants. The plant where the accident took place, Fukushima Daiichi, is located in Okuma, Fukushima, Japan.
There is a link below to a timeline for the accident at Fukushima Daiichi.
You are probably referring to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. It is on the seashore, and separated from the ocean only by a seawall, which was nearly 9 meters (28 feet) to low to stop the tsunami.

There are two Fukushima power plants. Both are in the prefecture of Fukushima, Japan.

There are two Fukushima nuclear power plants, both of which are in the Fukushima district on the east coast. Fukushima Daiichi, where the meltdowns happened, is at a town called Okuma. Fukushima Daini, is at a town called Naraha.
I think it was Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986.Another Answer:Chernobyl was the worst. Fukushima Daiichi was second.

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, was severely damaged by the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March 2011. It was decommissioned in April 2012 and will not reopen. Its sister plant, Fukushima Daini, was shut down after the earthquake and tsunami, but has since reopened.
