Fukushima Daiichi – The Day the Ocean Turned Radioactive

Описание: On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake off Japan triggered a tsunami that overwhelmed the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Within days, three reactors suffered meltdowns and explosions that released massive amounts of radioactivity into the atmosphere and Pacific Ocean. It became the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl.
This is the complete story of how 14-meter tsunami waves turned the Pacific Ocean into a radioactive highway. From the initial station blackout to hydrogen explosions that destroyed reactor buildings. From the evacuation of 185,000 people to the ongoing discharge of treated radioactive water into the sea.
We examine the technical failures that led to disaster, the human cost of nuclear evacuation, and the environmental consequences that continue today. Fukushima released an estimated 940 petabecquerels of radioactivity to the atmosphere and up to 30 petabecquerels to the ocean - contamination that has circled the globe through marine currents.
Thirteen years later, cleanup continues with a price tag exceeding $200 billion. The accident changed global nuclear policy, triggered the shutdown of reactors worldwide, and created diplomatic tensions that persist today. This is how a natural disaster became a man-made catastrophe that poisoned an ocean.
