An earthquake hit Tokyo and 3 or 4 nuclear reactors went off and there was a tsunami.
Japan had 55 operating nuclear power plants connected to their electrical grid. Three of these, on the north eastern side of the islands, were damaged or destroyed by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
They both cuased nuclear melt downs in power plants.
The recent Japan earthquake and tsunami, damaged several of Japan's nuclear power plants. These have leaked and are still leaking radioactive isotopes into the surrounding environment where they will pose a health problem to the people of Japan for many thousands of years.
It caused alot of damage to Japan, especially since it damaged a nuclear reactor that spread radiaton all around the world.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan was severely damaged by the earthquake and tsunami that hit in March 2011. The event resulted in the release of radioactive materials and led to one of the worst nuclear accidents in history.
During Japan's earthquake, which is commonly known as the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, a massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit the northeastern coast of Japan, triggering a devastating tsunami that reached heights of up to 40 meters. The combined impact caused widespread destruction, with thousands killed or missing, and triggered a nuclear emergency at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The event was one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded and had far-reaching consequences for Japan's infrastructure, economy, and society.
The problems currently being experienced are due to the combination of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami
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.
Because it was damaged by an earthquake and tsunami.
Because an huge earthquake happend and it cused the nuclear power plants to explode so radiation came out
The earthquake slightly damaged Tokyo, and the tsunami only hit the north Japan area.
