Is Fukushima still in use
The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (福島第一原子力発電所, Fukushima Daiichi Genshiryoku Hatsudensho, Fukushima number 1 nuclear power plant) is a disabled nuclear power plant located on a 3.5-square-kilometre (860-acre) site in the towns of Ōkuma and Futaba in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.
How many died in Fukushima
19,759 people
Radiation leaked into the atmosphere and some 110,000 residents had to be evacuated from their homes. The earthquake and tsunami caused devastating damage, with 120,000 homes completely destroyed and more than a million half or partially wrecked. In total, 19,759 people died. A further 6,167 were injured.

What was Japan’s first nuclear power plant
Tokai Power Station
Japan has developed the research of nuclear power generation since the middle of the 1950s. A test power reactor, JPDR, started operation in 1963 and Tokai Power Station, the first commercial reactor went into commercial operation in 1966 with a generation capacity of 166 MW.
How old are nukes
Nuclear weapons technology was developed during the 1930s and 1940s. The first nuclear weapons were detonated over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.
Did the nuclear age end
In the 21st century, the label of the "Atomic Age" connotes either a sense of nostalgia or naïveté, and is considered by many to have ended with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, though the term continues to be used by many historians to describe the era following the conclusion of the Second World War.
What is the largest power plant in Asia
The Three Gorges Dam in Hubei, China, has the world's largest instantaneous generating capacity (22,500 MW), with Baihetan Dam from the same nation in second place with a capacity of (16,000 MW). The Itaipu Dam in Paraguay/Brazil is the third largest with (14,000 MW).
Who is the biggest nuclear power in Asia
Japan, which produces 18 % of the global GDP, is equipped with the largest nuclear capacity in the region. Currently 54 reactors or the installed capacity of 45.5 gigawatt supply about one-third of Japanese electricity.
Why many people died in Chernobyl
Two Chernobyl plant workers died due to the explosion on the night of the accident, and a further 28 people died within a few weeks as a result of acute radiation syndrome.
Why was Chernobyl so bad
The explosion and fire threw hot particles of the nuclear fuel and also far more dangerous fission products (radioactive isotopes such as caesium-137, iodine-131, strontium-90, and other radionuclides) into the air. The residents of the surrounding area observed the radioactive cloud on the night of the explosion.
Was Japan warned about the atomic bomb
Leaflets dropped on cities in Japan warning civilians about the atomic bomb, dropped c. August 6, 1945. TO THE JAPANESE PEOPLE: America asks that you take immediate heed of what we say on this leaflet.
Did Japan test an atomic bomb
The theory is that Japan completed and tested an atomic bomb in Hungnam in the days before the end of the war. The remnants of the Japanese program, the theory says, sped up the development of nuclear weapons by the Soviet Union, which occupied Hungnam, and eventually North Korea.
