nuclear accident After the earthquake in Fukushima heavy damage was sustained on the power plant and surrounding area. The reactor was shut down however complications with the reactor soon arose as the residual thermal output of radiation became an issue. Under normal circumstances‚ the thermal output exceeds a little more than 460MW of energy. The system is cooled using water in order to keep the temperature stable and provide massive outputs of energy. When the earthquake hit Fukushima‚ the reactor

water‚ such as an earthquake‚ volcanic eruption‚ landslide or meteorite impact. However‚ the most common cause is an undersea earthquake. An earthquake which is too small to create a tsunami by itself may trigger an undersea landslide quite capable of generating a tsunami. Tsunamis can be generated when the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the overlying water. Such large vertical movements of the earth’s crust can occur at plate boundaries. Subduction earthquakes are particularly

proposed legislation Monday to create an earthquake-warning system that could give California residents up to 60 seconds advance notice when a temblor strikes. The initial cost estimate of $80 million would help pay for ground sensors and relays that could provide text and mobile alerts in the event of a quake on the San Andreas Fault‚ according to Caltech scientists in Pasadena and state Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Van Nuys). "California is going to have an earthquake early warning system‚" Padilla said
