The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故) was a catastrophic failure at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant on 11 March 2011, resulting in a meltdown of three of the plant's six nuclear reactors.
The failure occurred when the plant was hit by the tsunami triggered by the Tōhoku earthquake.
The plant began releasing substantial amounts of radioactive materials beginning on 12 March, becoming the largest nuclear incident since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the second (with Chernobyl) to measure Level 7 on the International Nuclear Event Scale, initially releasing an estimated 10-30% of the earlier incident's radiation.

In August 2013, it was stated that the massive amount of radioactive water is among the most pressing problems that are affecting the cleanup process, which is expected to take decades.
There have been continued spills of contaminated water at the plant, and some into the sea.
Plant workers are trying to lower the leaks using measures such as building chemical underground walls, but they have not improved substantially.

What will happen in the future?
In any case, I'd like to meet my "Romeo"---a decent man in my future life.
How come I'm always a loner?
I wish I could meet a nice gentleman at the library in my town as Diane met Kato.
Well, they say, there is a way where there is a will.
I hope Kato will write another interesting article.
So please come back to see me.
Have a nice day!
Bye bye ...

Hi, I'm June Adames.
The aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami included both a humanitarian crisis and a major economic impact.
The tsunami resulted in over 340,000 displaced people in the Tōhoku region, and shortages of food, water, shelter, medicine and fuel for survivors.
In response the Japanese government mobilized the Self-Defence Forces, while many countries sent search and rescue teams to help search for survivors.
Aid organizations both in Japan and worldwide also responded, with the Japanese Red Cross reporting $1 billion in donations.
The economic impact included both immediate problems, with industrial production suspended in many factories, and the longer term issue of the cost of rebuilding which has been estimated at \10 trillion ($122 billion).
In comparison to the 1995 Great Hanshin earthquake, the East Japan Earthquake brought serious damage to an extremely wide range.
The aftermath of the twin disasters also left Japan's coastal cities and towns with nearly 25 million tons of debris.
In Ishinomaki (石巻市) alone, there were 17 trash collection sites 180 metres long and at least 4.5 metres high.
An official in the city's government trash disposal department estimated that it would take three years to empty these sites.
