The March 2011 disaster in Japan started with an earthquake that triggered both a tsunami and a nuclear reactor accident known as the Fukushima Accident.

Following a major earthquake on March 11, 2011, a 15-meter tsunami disabled the power supply and cooling of three Fukushima Daiichi reactors, causing a nuclear accident . All three cores largely melted in the first three days during which over 100,000 people were evacuated from their homes.
