Three reactors at an atomic power plant run by Tokyo Electric Power melted down after an earthquake and tsunami eight years ago, spewing radiation that forced 160,000 people to flee, many never to return.. The Nuclear Regulation Authority released a paper showing it would look into the leaks in the reactor vessels and at cooling systems set up to keep the melted fuel in the reactors from overheating.
The March 2011 meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear station north of Tokyo was the world’s worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in 1986. It led to the eventual shutdown of all Japan’s reactors, which before the disaster had supplied about 30 percent of the country’s electricity.
