inform the audience about the heroic actions of the Fukushima Daiichi cleanup workers. Thesis: The Fukushima Daiichi cleanup workers are incredibly brave. Introduction: The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster was the largest nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. It measured 7 on the Nuclear Event Scale‚ which is the highest rating. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster was initiated by a magnitude 9 earthquake. This earthquake caused a tsunami with waves reaching up to 133 feet to crash on the Fukushima

Japan was hit by an enormous earthquake on March 11‚ 2011‚ that triggered a deadly 23-foot tsunami in the country’s north. The giant waves deluged cities and rural areas alike‚ sweeping away cars‚ homes‚ buildings‚ a train‚ and boats‚ leaving a path of death and devastation in its wake. Video footage showed cars racing away from surging waves. The United States Geological Survey reported the earthquake and on Monday revised its magnitude from 8.9 to 9.0‚ which is the largest in Japan’s history. The

nuclear power is when something goes wrong and an accident occurs. Radiation is released into the environment and people get hurt. Two of the most famous nuclear accidents occurred at the Three Mile Island reactor 2 in the United States and the Chernobyl reactor 4 in the former Soviet Union. In this text we will discuss these two disasters‚ along with correcting a few common misconceptions about nuclear accidents. The worst type of man-made disaster is caused by the use of nuclear weapons. If

An earthquake of a magnitude of 9.0 that occurred in Japan at 2:46 pm on Friday March 11‚ 2011 did a significant amount of damage in the region‚ as the following tsunami did even much more damage‚ flooding about 560 square kilometers resulting in a human death toll of about 19‚000 and the destruction of coastal ports‚ towns and buildings (Fukushima Accident‚ 2016). Eleven reactors at four different nuclear power plants in the region were operating at the time and were all shut down when the earthquake

According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development‚ 9000-33000 innocent people died as a result of the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown in Russia in 1986- the deadliest nuclear accident to date! Since the inception of nuclear energy‚ a sense of danger has always been inherent due to the extremely radioactive nature of uranium which if emitted‚ hangs over the land as the fog cloaks the English moors.

How does the notion of harm reveal entangled relationships between social welfare and crime control? The concept of harm is a complex one‚ The Concise Oxford Dictionary defines the term as “hurt‚ damage‚ cause harm to” (Allen‚1990‚P.539). In a physical sense harm can be defined and characterised by damage caused from a war or a natural phenomenon that inflicts considerable damage upon an individual‚ community or nation. The notion of harm has characterised humanity since the dawn of its existence

considering many factors including the safety of the reactor if natural disasters would happen near the power plant or within the vicinity (Micua‚ 2011). He stated facts that differs the power plant made in Bataan from the power plant that exploded in Chernobyl and that the nuclear power plant is safe to operate and supply electricity. Also‚ the nuclear power plant had performed several tests conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and passed these tests before receiving the approval

nuclear radiation which can kill human’s cells and serious radiation can cause death. Furthermore‚ radiation can result in genetic variation. Radiation also has nuclear residue. It is hard to clear‚ may be more than 50 years can disappear. Such as Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant‚ now is a ghost town‚ no one can live in there because of the radiation residue. In addition‚ nuclear reaction can generate radioactive waste. These wastes are very dangerous‚ and have very high radiation. Moreover‚ radioactive

becomes easily accessible‚ how it operates can be overlooked. We don’t have to know how it works as long as it works. Nuclear energy powers twenty percent of world energy needs‚ but is it really worth it? Is the energy worth it for disasters like Chernobyl or Fukushima? I believe that it’s not. Nuclear energy should not be utilized due to issues like radioactive water and radioactive waste. Nuclear power plants operate with highly pressurized‚ heated water‚ so what happens to this water once it’s

People who work at nuclear power plants and live near those areas are at high risk of facing nuclear radiations. ( The Chernobyl nuclear accident is‚ by far‚ the worst nuclear accident in the history. Different wrong decisions during the management of the nuclear plant caused a big nuclear explosion.
