Inside Japan’s Nuclear Meltdown
On March 11, 2011, the strongest earthquake occurred in Japan. It scores nine points in the scale of the judge. A devastating tsunami died or disappeared with 28,000 people quickly.
One of the most affected areas is Fukushima Prefecture on the East Coast of Japan. Fukushima Daichi Nuclear Power Station is one of the 15 largest nuclear power plants in the world. When an earthquake attack, the staff cares, but does not care. Japan is no stranger to the earthquake and experience of 160 earthquakes each year. The earthquake ranks 3 to 6 in scale. The facilities of the system are minimal with confidence. They lost their power, but their emergency generators participated in the competition a few minutes later.
However, the tsunami and its 45 -foot waves were hit into plants. It drowned all generators, cut off the strength, and completely dark. Workers now realize that they have encountered a huge crisis. They have no electricity to operate the cooling system of nuclear reactors. There are no monitoring tools to use, they don’t know what happened in the reactor. They are worried about the worst people -a lot of remembering Chelnobelli. At the time of pure genius, workers ran to the parking lot and dragged car batteries from each car. They absorbed the system’s surveillance system with everyone.
At the same time, Kimura, a local farmer, desperately searched for his father, wife and the youngest daughter. They were cleaned by the huge wave of swallowing the city. Many people like him immediately lost their houses and family members.
Back to the current facilities, now using instruments, workers have found that the pressure of nuclear reactor is too high to collapse. They are worried that hydrogen will accumulate in plants and chase everything into the air. The only way to relieve stress is to release radiation to the earth’s atmosphere. Plant workers are aware of the consequences, but the alternative is worse. The reactor may explode, more than thousands of miles of nuclear, irradiated fuel and dirt.
The Japanese government led by Prime Minister Naoto Kan voted to coordinate with TEPCO executives to coordinate and manage this work. Because of their response to the crisis, they all received applications from an angry public.
They quickly called for a large -scale evacuation of everyone in the 12 -kilometer radius of the system. Mr. Kimora made a difficult decision with the daughter he still kept, instead of further looking for the missing family.
A group of very brave and sacrifice plant workers manually opened the ventilation slot to cool the nuclear reactor. Members of the Japanese and Tokyo Fire Brigade also came to control this. In the end, they managed to curb the worst nuclear disaster in human history. Fukushima (Fukushima) contains four times the amount of nuclear fuel that is affected by the reactor (Calinley). Error is not a choice.
