Those who work at the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan were evacuated on Wednesday after the country issued tsunami warnings.
The operator at the nuclear plant revealed that all the 4,000 staff who work there were safely taken away, and there was no report of casualties or any abnormalities at the site.
This tsunami warning is a follow-up to a strong 8.7-magnitude earthquake off Russia’s far eastern coast, which led to the widespread warnings issued across the Pacific region.
The 8.7-magnitude earthquake and the tsunami warning created another fear in the minds of those who live within the Fukushima Prefecture, where it will be difficult to erase the nuclear disaster that occurred in 2011.
2011 is a year that will linger almost forever in the minds of residents of Fukushima Prefecture because of a 9.0-magnitude earthquake they experienced and the tsunami that followed, which killed more than 18,000 people, and the nuclear meltdown experienced at Fukushima. The resulting flood caused the plant’s emergency power systems to be disabled.
Currently, Fukushima still has hundreds of tons of dangerous radioactive material in it.
While there is an ongoing cleanup in the region, it has created a major challenge and has also become a source of controversy. The region has experienced the impact of numerous disasters and its vulnerability to seismic activity.
