Excerpt: Fukushima Dai-ichi (dai-ichi means "first"), was a multi-reactor nuclear power site in the Fukushima Prefecture of Japan. The Fukushima I nuclear accidents occurred after the 9.0 magnitude T hoku earthquake and subsequent tsunami on 11 March 2011, only 14 days before the reactor was to be shut down. This offshore earthquake near the island of Honshu produced a large tsunami in Japan, and a tsunami warning for over 20 countries within and around the Pacific Rim. The earthquake triggered the shut down of the three active reactors at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant (Fukushima Dai-Ichi). The tsunami that followed stopped Fukushima I station's backup dies...
