Fukushima, the nuclear disaster from hell, is
Kyodo reports that 300 tons of radioactive water have leaked from a 1,000 ton tank at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. That led Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority to consider raising the incident from a Level 1 nuclear event to a Level 3 (a “serious incident” with radioactive exposure 10 times the limit for workers) on the International Nuclear Event Scale, the first time an incident has been serious enough to be reported on the INES scale. The most extreme nuclear events on the scale are considered Level 7, a level only reached by Fukushima in 2011 and Chernobyl.
To see how this disaster happened requires only a glimpse into the enormous power of the tsunami that overwhelmed one of the largest nuclear facilities in the world. With this in mind, check out the latest news regarding contaminated water and how it's spilling into the Pacific, a situation not good by any stretch of the imagination.
