Fukushima: Four Years After

Fukushima: Four Years After

It has been four years since the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami battered Japan’s main island of Honshu. A roughly 45 foot-high surge of seawater engulfed the Fukushima Daiichi (Number One) nuclear station, causing a prolonged full-station blackout. Over the course of five days, three of the six unit’s suffered severe fuel core damage, three of the outer, essentially superficial reactor buildings were torn apart by hydrogen explosions, and significant uncontrolled releases of air-borne contamination spurred the forced evacuation of 75,000 Fukushima residents.
The Japanese Press has literally flooded the news with mostly negative reports, including at least one outright lie from outside Japan. The following are summations of the more-significant Fukushima 4^th anniversary postings by major Press outlets, all but one of which are Japanese.
