The natural disasters coupled with poor engineering designs and decisions resulted in a (Naoto Kan, 2013) “meltdown and melt through” in Reactor Unit 1 from the hydrogen explosions in Unit 1,2 and 3. Unit 4 also suffered a hydrogen explosion (without meltdown). As a result, (Iaea.org, 2011) the disaster received a level 7 INES accident rating from IAEA, the highest in the entire world along with the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. Therefore, it is apparent that the consequence would be on a large scale.
The Fukushima Daiichi disaster had both immediate and long-term costs and consequences. (IAEA, 2011) People who lived within the 20km radius area around the Fukushima Daiichi had to evacuate immediately to avoid the radiation. This was estimated
