Don't build or operate reactors in area that are subject to historically large tidal waves. Don't place all emergency power sources in one location. Have large mobile power generation and diesel pumps within reach of the plants. Store a lot of water on site for emergency cooling. Don't place your reactor electrical and control system in an area subject to flood or other damage. Don't put your primary and backup systems in the same location. Build new generation nuclear plants which do not rely on human intervention, pumps and power to safely shut down.
Between 1945 and 1987, there were 285 nuclear reactor accidents, injuring over 1,550 people and killing 64.
Nuclear power amounts for a somewhat large portion of our the energy that we use. However, nuclear spills can be devastating. When a nuclear power plant leaks, radioactive material is released into the environment. This material is extremely harmful to humans and can cause many health problems and cancer. Radiation is spread through the air. It can take many years for the harmful material in the environment to go away. One of the most well-known nuclear accidents was the disaster at Chernobyl. Also, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan recently had a spill.
one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded followed by a tsunami that disabled the backup diesel generators.
Construction for the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant started the 25th of July, 1967. The plant was built by Kajima Construction Corporation, Ltd. This is a Japanese construction company. Founded in 1840. Fukushima I was fully operational in the year 1971.
simply, the nuclear reactor is the source of heat (or steam) for the nuclear power plant.
Timeline of the Fukushima nuclear accidents happened in 2011.
Well actually Tokyo's electric company is controlling most of the work, so it's not all the Japanese Government.

Between 1945 and 1987, there were 285 nuclear reactor accidents, injuring over 1,550 people and killing 64.
Three major nuclear accidents; namely:Three Miles Islands nuclear accident, USA, March 1979Chernobyl nuclear accident, Ukraine (former Soviet Union), April 1986Fukushima nuclear accident, Japan, March 2011
Thankfully there haven't been many nuclear accidents, however when they do happen they can be severe the worst nuclear accident/disaster was the explosion of reactor No.4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear power plant in 1986 on April the 26th.
A Nuclear Reactor.
The first Japanese city to be attacked by a nuclear weapon is Hiroshima.
Nuclear power accidents are a disaster. The 1986 nuclear accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine was a catastrophic accident.
