1) On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck the Tohoku region of Japan, generating a powerful tsunami that caused widespread damage. 2) Over 18,000 people were killed or missing as a result of the earthquake and tsunami. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was damaged, displacing over 350,000 evacuees. 3) While the situation at Fukushima was dangerous, it was brought under control and radiation levels, though concerning, did not reach Chernobyl-level meltdown. Financial support, donations, and messages of care and encouragement can help with recovery efforts.

9. Meltdown hasn’t happened at Fukushima yet.

10. It is NOT similar to ChernobylMore like Three Mile Island(TMI) accident Loss of Coolant Accident, LOCA Still in dangerous condition but under control Residents were exposed to 0.01-1mSv 1μGy/h≒1μSv/h

11. radiation pollution Kyoto 541km Mito 127km Tokyo 221km 1μGy/h≒1μSv/h Flight Tokyo – New York 100μSv

12. good side People are getting together Lots of humanity activities Very few robbery, burglar, riots Lots of supports from all over the world Rapid and organized recovery

13. what we can do? Financial support Donation Through RCTB Japan Club of Guam Red Cross
