Fukushima is a town in Japan that suffered from a strong earthquake and high tsunamis that broke down the electric grid forced the nuclear power units shut down.
International response to Fukushima disaster happened in 2011.
Fukushima Daiichi (the worse accident) is located at 37° 25' 22.7" N 141° 01' 58.5" E. Fukushima Daini (the lesser accident) is located at 37° 18' 59" N 141° 01' 52" E.
Fukushima, Chernobyl and your house.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant had a seawall designed with withstand a tsunami with waves 5.7 meters (19 feet) high. It was hit by a tsunami with waves of 14 meters (46 feet). For a wave of this height, the seawall that was in place was hardly better than nothing at all. The plant also lacked the water proofing that saved the Fukushima Daini plant from a similar fate. A review of historic tsunamis produces the rather disturbing revelation that ten tsunamis with waves of over 10 meters in height have hit Japan since 1707, or one about every 30 years. Three of these have hit the Sanriku Coast, where the Fukushima Daiichi plant is located, since 1896. The 1986 tsunami had a maximum wave height measured at 38.2 meters, the one in 1933 had a wave maximum of 28.7 meters, and the one in 2011 had maximum waves of 33 meters. Clearly, the 14 meter waves that hit Fukushima Daiichi were neither the worst case, nor even unprecedented. There are links below to source articles.
No, But weather can move radiation around if it is already in the air like it has been with the Fukushima accident in Japan and then back in Europe in the Chernobyl event.
