In 2011, an earthquake, believed to be an aftershock of the 2010 earthquake in Chile, created a tsunami that caused a meltdown
at the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima, Japan. Three nuclear
reactors melted down and what happened next was the largest release of
radiation into the water in the history of the world. Over the next
three months, radioactive chemicals, some in even greater quantities than Chernobyl,
leaked into the Pacific Ocean. However, the numbers may actually be
much higher as Japanese official estimates have been proven by several
scientists to be flawed in recent years.
If that weren’t bad enough, Fukushima continues to leak an astounding 300 tons of radioactive waste into the Pacific Ocean every day. It will continue do so indefinitely as the source of the leak cannot be sealed as it is inaccessible to both humans and robots due to extremely high temperatures.
