Japan was hit with a 9.0-magnitude earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan’s northeastern coast that knocked out power that needed to cool six reactors and fuel pools at the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear plant. The reactors began to get much hotter that caused radiation leakage. Workers pumped seawater into the reactors. Workers also pumped steam into the reactors to try to prevent another hydrogen explosion. There was a hydrogen explosion at Fukushima Dai-Ichi that fully exploded into the air 2 times. After, explosion and fire outbreak at Unit 4 and the government evacuates people within a twelve-mile radius of the plant. Then, due to evaporation of water in the fuel pool, steam and smoke arise from Unit 3. The U.S. government tells all its citizens with fifty miles of the nuclear reactor to evacuate. Workers try to spray Unit 3 with water but the water does not reach the pool. On day 7, The Tokyo Electric Power Corp. reports that 23 of its workers have been injured and 18 are exposed to radiation. High radiation levels are found in milk and spinach on the ninth day. By day ten, the radiation levels in spinach are higher than the legal limit. On day 14, two workers were hospitalized after coming in contact with radioactive water and the radiation in tap water were so high that infants should not being drinking the tap water. On day 16, the U.S. delivers fresh water to cool the plant and radiation was found in milk and eleven kinds of vegetables. Toxic plutonium was founded outside the plant on day 19. An 8-inch crack discovered in the maintenance pit was leaking radioactive water into the sea. TEPCO states that they are going to release 10,000 tons of radioactive water into the sea in order to make space in the storage building. On day 28, another earthquake hit the northeast coast of Japan but does not do any additional harm to the nuclear power plants. The situation at Japan’s nuclear power plant has been changing rapidly and they hope to get the plants under control as soon as possible.
