Description

On 11 March 2011, Japan was hit by a very severe earthquake and tsunami. This natural disaster has so far claimed more than 10,000 lives and a larger number of people are still missing. The tsunami washed away villages, industry and infrastructure. The tsunami also caused major problems at a number of nuclear power plants. Four nuclear power plants at the Fukushima Daiichi site were particularly badly affected. The earthquake and tsunami caused loss of cooling functionality. As a result, nuclear damage, hydrogen explosions and fires have occurred. Fuel storage pools have also partially dried up. The damage to the fuel casing has led to release of radioactivity to the air and also to sea water. An area of around the Daiichi site has been evacuated. Three weeks after the earthquake, work is still ongoing to restore cooling to the reactors and fuel pools, and additional measures are being prepared to stop radioactivity leaking from the buildings.
The KIVI NIRIA Nuclear Engineering Department, in close cooperation with the KIVI NIRIA Office, is organising an afternoon symposium on the Fukushima nuclear accident on Friday 13 May 2011. The aim of this meeting is to provide facts and interpretation regarding the cause and consequences of this accident.
