The Japanese Tohoku Earthquake of 2011 led to one of the biggest humanitarian crises and environmental disasters in human history. The earthquake came as a total surprise even to the industrialized geology tracking system in Japan, and was of 9.0 magnitude, production it one of the five most excellent earthquakes on record. The earthquake, which came as a supervene of one tectonic plate slipping under the other in the ocean off Japan's coast, led to a huge tsunami that crashed onto the coastal shores of Eastern Japan. The tsunami led to approximately 16,000 deaths, tens of thousands of injured, and thousands missing. The walls of water from the tsunami completed destroyed about 14 billion dollars worth of infrastructure, along with homes, electrical power plants, and nuclear power plants. Three nuclear power plants exploded as a supervene of the tsunami waves, prominent to a nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Reactor and one of the biggest environmental catastrophes in human history.
Tsunamis Survival
Nuclear Reactor
Japan is a country that has a long history of taste with earthquakes, and survival skills for the damaging tremors they cause are common knowledge among even schoolchildren. Tsunamis are a totally distinct story, however. There is approximately nothing that mankind can do to minimize the effects of the rushing walls of water that report tsunamis and they often come unexpectedly. Japan has one of the most industrialized civilian infrastructures in the world and even they were helpless to the wrath of mum Nature. It is very likely that many other countries, along with the United States, must have been shocked at the damage wrought by the tsunami, especially since it is generally held that a catastrophic earthquake is due to charge Los Angeles within the next ten years.
Chernobyl incident
There has not been a nuclear meltdown since the Chernobyl incident that occurred in the Soviet Union in 1986. The Fukushima nuclear meltdown shares the same disaster rating with the Chernobyl disaster with a designation of "7," which make the two incidents tied for the most catastrophic nuclear meltdowns in history. Miles of Fukushima will remain uninhabitable, maybe for centuries, due to the threat of radiation poisoning. Following the destruction of the nuclear reactors there, some countries in Europe, along with Germany and France, pledged to eliminate nuclear power as an energy source within the next fifteen years due to their potentially catastrophic effects.
It would seem that earthquake survival skills enlarge far beyond just taking cover from tremors. One must also vocalize with the effects of tsunamis and the damage they cause to the civilian infrastructure. The Tohoku earthquake has served as a chapter to people worldwide that we must all make the maximum establishment for catastrophic events.
Last Friday, Japan was unraveled by, what may be termed as possibly one of the most horrible earthquakes ever. The subsequent 10-meter high tsunami trampled the whole of the Pacific coast of the country, sweeping away ships, vehicles, people, and homes alike. Though the early warning systems did cut the chances of some loss of life, the death toll has now crossed 10,000, many are still missing, and thousands have lost their homes. The earthquake, measuring 8.9 on the Richter scale, has shifted the island by practically 8 feet and is thought to have affected the earth's axis.
The Japanese Government is battling at so many fronts simultaneously that it is not literally able to correlate the exact level of destruction. The estimate, on the basis of the specifics received so far, is currently being pegged at an wonderful billion. The reconstruction efforts after this catastrophe are thinkable, to be the greatest ever attempted in the world. The tsunami in Japan has been particularly responsible for cutting all the transportation lines and power supplies in the earthquake-stricken areas. This, in turn, has resulted in even bigger concerns about the alleged nuclear radiations from the Fukushima Daiichii atomic plant. In increasing to the irreversible damage to reactors No. 1 and 3, fresh fire at reactor No. 4 and an alarming rise in temperature at reactors 5 and 6 have given rise to worries over a probable meltdown of the fuel rods and the extraction of large-level radiations in the environment! Japan has total 54 nuclear setups that constitute 30% of its total electricity supplies. Eleven out of these, together with the Fukushima reactor, are situated in the affected north-eastern belt and have been closed. Restoring these power sources is not likely to happen for some extended periods of time and this implies further cost of entertaining over to oil-based electricity generation. The Japanese authorities are drawing commentary from the world community, due to mismanagement and suppression of actual information. The nuclear urgency in Japan is being rated 5, next only to the Chernobyl disaster of 1986, and currently, it is impossible to rate the costs on this account.
Nuclear Reactor
Japan is already full of a amount of economic challenges and the most recent events have been a major setback to its economic salvage process. All of the affected areas have been rendered totally non-functional, where trading of daily essentials is also suffering from a shortage of supplies. Though the commercial zones in Japan have not been directly affected by the earthquake and tsunami, production is now at halt in many parts. The converyance manufactures is among the worst hit by the tsunami and there have been huge occasion costs of lost production. Foreign employees are being evacuated, while auto majors, such as Honda, Toyota, and Nissan have stopped operations. There have been over 110 aftershocks to the Friday's earthquake until now, with the latest, 6.0 on Richter scale, to hit Tokyo on Wednesday. It is yet to be seen either the current troubles subside or a fresh round of events throw Japan further out of gear.
Japan in News: The latest Earthquake Brings a Tsunami of Troubles
We have been hearing that the damage in the Japanese Nuclear Power Plant Fukushima 1 has not been repaired. On Friday, March 11, an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 hit northern Honshu Island, Japan at nearby 3:00 p.m. Local time. A weighty tsunami followed and at 7:03 p.m. The first accident announcement was issued. At 8:50 p.m., an evacuation order was issued for residents within a three-kilometer diameter of the power plant. The first, second, and third reactors automatically stopped operating, and all electricity cut off. They lost cooling function.
On the second and third days, hydrogen explosions occurred in the first and third reactors. Radioactive wastes were released into the environment, and radiation levels in the air, water, and foods registered far above normal. Cooling efforts continued, and radiation levels reduced in the environment in the last week of March. However, total recovery of the damage has not been reported as of April 3, 2011. The damage includes the possibility of a core melt down, the worst considerable situation in a nuclear power reactor accident.
Nuclear Power
When I heard this news in California, my first idea was that this damage would be fixed in one week or so. I idea that at least a concrete plan and schedule would be advanced and released in three to five days. Instead, the supplementary damages were revealed one after an additional one as time went by. The situation has appeared increasingly worse in the last some weeks. It surprised me. The damage and the accident could not be corrected properly in a few days despite the world-class Japanese technology of nuclear power generation.
Although my idea on use of atomic power as a source of energy is neutral, I do have a concern due to the destructive nature of the power source. I could not help but think habitancy need to make the right decision in using nuclear energy for an alternative energy source. The stories of damages and accidents reminded me an old Chinese story on nature. It was a tale from Zhuangzi. Even though the legs of crane birds are too long, if you cut them, the birds would not survive. Even though the legs of sparrows are too short, if you lengthened them, they would not function. The long legs for crane birds were to keep them dry while standing in water; the short legs for sparrows are for standing safely on the branches of tall trees.
I hope that the use of nuclear power generation is not an endeavor to convert unchangeable nature: in other words, an activity to shorten the legs of cranes or lengthen the legs of sparrows. Otherwise, I hope they would develop whole counter-measures for this kind of natural disaster.
Casualties: Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) has confirmed at least 1000 dead and another 88000 missing in six different prefectures. By 09:30 March 11 UTC, Google Person Finder, which was previously used in the Haiti, Chile, and Christchurch earthquakes, was collecting information about survivors and their locations. It has been confirmed that two passenger trains containing an unknown number of passengers disappeared in a coastal area during the tsunami. It has also been confirmed that a ship carrying 100 people was swept away by the tsunami. The current status of the ship is still unknown. Four were swept out to sea by the tsunami off the coast of Crescent City, California, United States, near the Oregon border, with two of them later found alive, one still missing, and one dead. A man who was taking pictures of the tsunami waves on the Northern California coast was also swept out to sea and is missing. The United States Coast Guard is now searching for him. 2011 Sendai Earthquake and Tsunami: The 2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami (東北地方太平洋沖地震, Tōhoku Chihō Taiheiyō- oki Jishin, literally "Tōhoku region Pacific Ocean offshore earthquake") was a 9.1-magnitude megathrust earthquake that created tsunami waves of up to 10 metres (33 ft). It was measured at 7 on the Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale in the northern Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, with an initially reported magnitude of 7.9, while the JMA's tsunami warning listed the magnitude as 8.4 ...
