چکیده
On March 11, 2011 (hereafter 3.11), a magnitude nine earthquake hit the northeast part of Japan’s main island. The earthquake and subsequent tsunami damaged the cooling systems of the Fukushima No. 1 plant’s reactors operated by Tokyo Electric Company (TEPCO). Ranked seven (the most severe) on a seven-step scale by the International Atomic Energy Agency, comparable to the Chernobyl accident in 1986, the accident resulted in the release of radioactive particles, including 15,000 Bq of radioactive cesium 137.
