US scientists determined this tear that the reactor is still leaking small amounts of radioactive materials into the ocean. The cleanup for this disaster could take as long as 40 years.
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.
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.
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.
Uranium is the radioactive material element used in nuclear reactors, including the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan. Uranium undergoes fission reactions, releasing energy that is used to generate electricity.
High levels of radiation can be found in countries with nuclear power plants or regions affected by nuclear disasters. For example, countries like Ukraine (site of the Chernobyl disaster) and Japan (site of the Fukushima disaster) have areas with high radiation levels due to these incidents. Additionally, countries like Russia, the United States, and France have various nuclear facilities that may have higher radiation levels closer to these installations.
Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant is still leaking and it is hoped to be repaired by 2020.
As of March 20, Japan's nuclear plant is leaking radiation, but it has not collapsed yet.
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.
Robots have been sent into Fukushima Daiichi because parts of the plant have radiation levels that exceed safe levels for human entry.
The first country to receive a warning about high levels of radiation was Japan, following the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011.
It happened on March 11th, 2011 at 2:46 local time.
Mostly people in Fukushima since that is where the Radiation Plant is.
Fukushima Daiichi.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster took place on March 11, 2011, in Okuma, Fukushima, Japan.
Takumi Nemoto is the Minister in Charge of Comprehensive Policy Coordination for Revival From the Nuclear Accident at Fukushima for Japan.
There are two Fukushima power plants. Both are in the prefecture of Fukushima, Japan. The plant you have in mind is probably the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, which experienced a series of meltdowns after an earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011. The other is the Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant.
