    Japan hops back onto the nuclear bandwagon
  • On 14 August, the Sendai No. 1 reactor in southern Japan will start generating power and reach its maximum capacity in September.

    A power plant operator in Japan, Kyushu Electric Power Co. confirmed the restart of a reactor.

    The restart comes with stricter regulations than was under the older system and ends Japan's 4.5 year nuclear power impasse since the 2011 Fukushima nuclear leak.

    Japanese Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster

    Japanese Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster
  • On 11 March 2011, after a major earthquake, a 15-metre tsunami disabled the power supply and cooling of three Fukushima Daiichi reactors in Japan.

    Four reactors were affected by the damage in the accident.

    ​The damage led to the release of radioactive materials on March 12.

    There were no deaths or cases of radiation sickness but approximately 100,000 people were evacuated from their homes.

    Largest level 7 disaster after Chernobyl in 1986

    Effect on the ocean due to nuclear tragedy

    Effect on the ocean due to nuclear tragedy
  • In the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, more than three-quarters of the radioactive substances fell into the ocean.

    56% of all fish caught off Japan had been contaminated with radioactive cesium that was pumped into the ocean after the disaster.

    40% of bottom dwelling fish's (sole, halibut, cod) radioactive cesium levels were much higher than Japanese regulatory limits.

  • 3 years after the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe more than 120,000 people from the region are living away from their homes.

    Members of the same families were living separately scattered across 2-3 sites.

    Moreover 67.5% of the evacuees showed signs of physical or psychological distress.

    The government has not yet allowed the evacuated people to return to their homes.

    The Herculean task of cleaning up

    The Herculean task of cleaning up
  • Almost £11bn has already been put in by the plant's operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), and its many partner firms for enlisting 6,000 workers to bring Fukushima contamination under control.

    Decommissioning the whole plant will cost around 10 Tn yen (£55Bn) and is expected to take approximately 40 years.

    So far, 500,000 tonnes of contaminated water has been collected and stored in 100 tanks.
