Lists of nuclear disasters and radioactive incidents

Psychosocial impact of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident after the Great East Japan Earthquake <Mental health problem and poor health perception in Chernobyl vs. Fukushima> On 11 March 2011, a gigantic tsunami following the Great East Japan Earthquake severely damaged Tokyo Electric Power Company’s (TEPCO) Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) and then caused a radiation hazard in Fukushima Prefecture. The residents in Fukushima feared the invisible radiation exposure,…

having a lot going on that has involved weapons made out of nuclear fission and probably makes you think if you think if nuclear fission has harmed society. There many examples what good it’s done for us and many harm that it caused. It has allowed us to use it for greater things but also taken advantage of by using it for weapons of destruction. They’ve already used one on people already and killed many. That is not the way using nuclear fission, they use it for threats, power, and their own…

briefly before splitting into two separate and distinct chemicals. Radioactive photons, massive energy, and neutrons are shot out in the surrounding area. As long as more Isotopes of X still exist in the area, this can, in turn, create a grand chain reaction that can theoretically last forever. The process I am speaking of is better known as Nuclear Fission, and currently about 10.9 percent of the world’s energy owes itself to Nuclear Fission. So this is great, right? In theory, this atomic…

Eighteen-thousand people lost their lives on March 11th, 2011 due to the triple disaster in Japan. An earthquake, tsunami, and three meltdowns caused the explosion of a nuclear power plant in Japan. The event was tragic, and out of the control of the workers at Fukushima Daiichi power. Despite certain exposure to radiation fifty brave and selfless workers stayed behind in efforts to control the devastating situation, and seven-hundred and fifty workers were evacuated. In addition to the 50…

One of the largest environmental disasters in world history happened on March 11, 2011. The site was the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan. A 9.0 magnitude earthquake was experienced off the northeastern coast of Japan, and this triggered tsunamis that affected shorelines within minutes. Dozens of villages alongside 200 miles of coastline were substantially destroyed. Waves measuring more than 40 feet struck the Fukushima nuclear power plant, located only 150 miles from Tokyo. The…

The advantages of using nuclear power rather than any other form of power are many. Using nuclear power alone would cause lower greenhouse gas emissions, it is more powerful and more efficent than any other energy source to which we have access. While solar and wind energies are most likely the cleanest options, they are not as reliable as nuclear power. Uranium, which generates nuclear energy, is very cheap and it does not take much to produce energy. Coal, oil, and natural gas will not…

Another nuclear disaster that hit the world by surprise is the March 11, 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident. This particular nuclear plant was built in 1971 and by 1979 six reactors were operating in that plant. Since the plant is located right next to the ocean, a wall was designed to protect it from tsunami waves. “On March 11, 2011, at 2:46 p.m. local time, an earthquake of magnitude 9.0 struck off the coast of Honshu “ (Funk & Wagnalls). The reactors that were in use shut down automatically…

We should not build a nuclear reactor in Brooklyn due to the various dangerous effects it promotes. The reasons why we should not construct a nuclear reactor is that it’s expensive to build, the hazardous risks it produces towards human health, and the fact that it is not a clean energy source. Building a nuclear reactor requires excessive money that the government must provide. Its construction is extremely expensive because “Including Price Anderson limitations on nuclear liability, the…

The fluoride cavity-prevention fraud originated in the U. S. in 1939, when scientist, Gerald J. Cox (an employee of ALCOA, the largest producer of toxic fluoride waste in the country) who was being threatened at that time by personal claims of personal fluoride damage) fluoridated his laboratory rats and incorrectly concluded that sodium fluoride reduced dental cavities and, therefore, claimed it should be added to municipal water supplies in the United States (one giant leap for mankind). In…

society. Technology spurs from desperation. We quickly started obtaining energy from anything that we could. Steam, coal, wind, solar, and nuclear were all options on the table for harnessing energy. The technology of harnessing electricity has been advancing ever since we discovered any way to benefit from…
