Nuclear Reactrors 291 - TEPCO Preparing Another Robot To Check The Ruins Of Unit 3 At Fukushima
In March of 2011, there was an earthquake northeast of Japan. The resulting tsunami flooded the emergency generators of the Fukushima nuclear power plant on the Japanese coast. Three of the nuclear reactors at the plant suffered catastrophic meltdowns and radioactive materials were released into the atmosphere. Japan immediately shut down all their nuclear power reactors.
