Nuclear meltdown

Fukushima Daiichi incident (March 11, 2011) is not the first nuclear meltdown incident. It is also not the first time that nuclear companies promise to give proper maintenance to their reactors. However, even if they do, sometimes Mother Nature strikes us and Disasters like this annihilate entire countries for never-ending years. In this particular case plutonium contaminated the water, air, and the soil. While the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plants asserts that they did their best to be prepared for

After the Chernobyl disaster, officials came up with methods that could further prevent subsequent meltdowns and reduce the effects a meltdown would have if one were to occur. The concept that was derived was the defence in depth concept, which was fundamental to the safety of nuclear installations. The factors of this concept started with the design and building of a nuclear facility which required deciding on a good design and adequate site, the use of high-quality construction materials and the

Nuclear Meltdowns Everyone knows what it feels like waking up certain that a bad day is about to begin. Perhaps the alarm clock didn't go off because of a power surge. Maybe the lights dim when the hair dryer turns on, or a hurricane has knocked the power lines down and electricity can't be bad. These scenarios are nothing compared to the day when a nuclear meltdown has occurred. A really bad day is one when the power fails, followed by water contamination, followed by a disruption

A nuclear family is a family composed of a married father and mother and their children. This type of family became increasingly popular following the industrial age in the 1900s. The nuclear family soon became the norm as people transferred from large kin groups to smaller independent families (Pulsipher, 2015). This posed a problem in the beginning because close relatives no longer played a role in raising children and no longer had anyone to look after them in old age as they did when kin groups

The 2011 Fukushima nuclear meltdown was sparked by a massive tsunami off the coast of Japan caused by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake. It decimated the nuclear reactor and sent hazardous nuclear waste spewing out into the Pacific ocean. Japanese fish have tested positive for dangerous levels of radiation and now, it seems, fish as far away as the US have been infected by the waste. Alaskan Salmon is imported for sale in most major UK supermarkets when Scottish salmon is out of season. After being caught

Hukushima Nuclear Meltdown is one of the most horrible disasters in modern days. Technology that was meant to benefit human turned against people, changing the nature into the dead land. What I knew about this incident was that the reactor exploded in the nuclear power plant, resulting a critical amount of radioactive particles into the ocean. However, I did not know that there was a film taken in the power plant at the very moment of the disaster. Yesterday, my roommate told me that going into the

recent years with a magnitude of 9.1 (“Damage Station Police” ). However, this was not the only disaster to have struck Japan, the combination of the earthquake and tsunami led to the meltdown of a power plant in, Tōhoku region, Japan. This event became known as the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Nuclear meltdowns has contributed harm to many environments by radioactive leaks, soil contamination, and radiation exposure. 200 miles away from the Fukushima, fresh water fish were being hit with

The Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor Meltdown April 26th 1986 marked the date of the worst nuclear accident to ever occur. Chernobyl, a nuclear power plant in Russia was undergoing routine safety tests that envolved running the reactor on less then full power, followed by a standard shut down. At Chernobyl’s reactor number 4 a specific test was designed to show that a coasting turbine could produce enough power to pump coolant through the reactor core while waiting for electricity from diesel generators

communities in which they live” (Nies, 2015). The community nurse as the book states has the means and the knowledge to be influential in helping plan disaster protocols with the many different governmental and community groups. The video, PBS Video: Nuclear Meltdown Disaster, really hits home. I live exactly 17.6 miles from the Perry Power

devastating water could be the hard way. What caused the Tsunami was a magnitude 9.0 earthquake which was the most powerful earthquake to ever hit Japan. Why most people know about these events are that the combo of the earthquake and tsunami caused nuclear meltdowns in the Fukushima Power plant. All three of those events were a trifecta of events that caused massive damage and heartache to the people of Japan. It would be hard to plan for all three of these disasters to happen at once but investigating the
