By: Mary Rose | 2011-03-21 | Current Affairs The history – making earthquake and tsunami have caused the most serious nuclear accidents in Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plants – the world’s most devastating nuclear disaster since Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. The first massive explosion and leak happened on March 12, 2011 at the Fukushima Daiichi atomic power plant. Despite all immediate efforts to cool down the reactors, reactor No.3 and three other reactors lost its ability to cool on Sunday. The fact leads to three massive hydrogen explosions in Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant which send enormous column of smoke into the air. An estimated of more than 180,000 people have evacuated. More dangerously, the radioactive leakage has raised the radiation levels around the plant above the safety limit which leaves 160 people being exposed to radiation. read more

By: Mary Rose | 2011-03-21 | News and society The Friday’s massive earthquake and tsunami severely destroyed northeast Japan and caused great explosions at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant’s reactors, raising the uncontrolled radiation risk. Engineers are using diesel generators for less critical reactors No. 5 and No.6, which helps return to normal the temperature in spent fuel pools of the two reactors. Besides, they have successfully attached a power cable to the No. 1, 2, 5 and 6 reactors in a first step to help cool reactors and stop the spread of radiation as well as expect to restore electricity. If engineers cannot cool the reactor, the last option would be to entomb the plant with concrete and sand with the aim at preventing a catastrophic radiation leak, the method used at Chernobyl in Ukraine in 1986. read more

Authorities are underway to remove 2,000 tonnes of oil from the vessel. It was reported that 20-30 tonnes of oil have been spilled into the Bay of Plenty, near port of Tauranga, one of the country's most spectacular coastlines and top tourist destinations. If the ship breaks up, 1,700 tonnes of heavy fuel could be released into an area that is home to various animals, including penguins, whales, dolphins and seals and so on. read more
