Meltdown: Earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear Disaster in Fukushima, Hardback Book

Meltdown: Earthquake, Tsunami, and Nuclear Disaster in Fukushima Hardback

Hardback

Description

On March 11, 2011, the largest earthquake ever measured in Japan occurred off the northeast coast.

It triggered a tsunami with a wall of water 128 feet high.

The tsunami damaged the nuclear power plant in Fukushima triggering the nightmare scenario - a nuclear meltdown. For six days, employees at the plant worked to contain the meltdown and disaster workers scoured the surrounding flooded area for survivors. Deirdre Langeland explores the harrowing story of the deadly earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown that caused the 2011 Fukushima power plant disaster, examining the science behind such a massive disaster and looking back at the people who experienced an unprecedented trifecta of destruction.
