the actual fukushima dai ichi was caused by an earthquake and a tsunami. but really at the root of it was that the earthquake knocked out the off site power and that the tsunami knocked out the cooling pumps on warm the ocean. that can happen anywhere you can lose offsite power from the storm or from a terrorist action and you can lose the pumps they call the plant from. the same exact cause and so we don't need a tsunami we don't need an earthquake to cause that kind of damage in an american nuclear plant. i'm here because i think this is very dangerous we're facing the end of life on this planet if we don't do something about it. when i heard about some. i was devastated. i felt i've got to get erik at yankee because it's 10 child fukushima. no more. because. we would like to believe this were trespassing and the market is going to grab. i'm not really. done everything that i know to do. all i have left is my body and put it in the way just say no. we will definitely be doing it together again. and again amen a women a women. and when people asked me how

all of them are going to require modifications from lessons learned after fukushima dai ichi. from my aunt he was going to need about $250000000.00 of repair and replacement over the next 2 or 3 years to keep running and entergy didn't want to spend that money. entergy new that from entourage were not going to allow this plant top arrayed unless it was in top notch condition. and they couldn't afford it so they pulled the plug on for a minute for economics but it was economics under the scrutiny of a smart electorate who had kept themselves informed for the last 10 years. the closing of vermont yankee is a victory for democracy. entered you would continue to operate if it wasn't for all the hard work all these people did to make this happen. a win for david over. people power works we as citizens have the ability to effect change. what gives me hope in all of this is that. in some little way our actions are going to inspire others. i. think you know that i find that there is no way. out people often say to me i wish my grandmother or for her like you get your grandmother did j

everything does work the time japan's a nuclear nightmare continues a 2nd hydrogen explosion at the fukushima dai. nuclear complex destroyed the reactor exterior all 3 daiichi reactors have nuclear fuel rods that have been exposed to some degree so they're teetering on the edge. you need to sit.

fishermen when returning to shore on a storm free day they discovered the waves had leveled their villages. act the last tsunami to hit japan caused the fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 it was triggered by a sea quake measuring 9 point one on the richter scale. the wave killed more than 18000 people i've seen them enough or can cause a tsunami has no meteorological cause that's the primary cause of tsunamis are earthquakes and sea quakes. the vast majority of tsunamis are generated by sea quakes which in turn a triggered by the earth's tectonic activity. the earth's crust is composed of several large plates the movement of magma pushes them against one another a few millimeters. is to a few centimeters a year the oceanic plagues slide beneath the continental plates creating subduction zones. friction between the plates can cause deformation of the continental plate which accumulates a gigantic amount of energy when this energy is released it can cause a huge undersea earthquake. the earthquake suddenly puts all the water in motion. at a depth of 4 kilometers we have 4000 meters of water is moving at the speed of a passenger plane. or the wave

in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines coas it that's really out there on the street inside story on al-jazeera. when the fukushimatsunami hit japan coastline in 2011 it destroyed everything in its path in the aftermath of the forces began building a massive new siebel along 400 kilometers of the coastline it's hard construction to be completed by 2021 and a continuous line of wall to close off every reba along the blame to north east coast of japan. the project also includes fog to left open to allow the river to flow into the sea. there only good for me a bit. but the mega project has raised questions how far must we go to protect out the old from natural disasters. and how i think to look really in attempting to save. this is techno innovations that can change lives the science of fight fire we're going to explore the intersection of hardware and humanity and we're doing it a unique way. this is a show about science oh i know by scientists. tonight. techno in search of the great american prairie where in the current state yeah ironically we have such little of it left farming and over development killed it now

what happened at the fukushima nuclear power plant the site was destroyed by a powerful earthquake and tsunami that struck off the northeastern coast of japan in march of 2011 in the dayshat followed its cooling systems failed and tons of radioactive material leaked into the air and sea. japan's government designated a large of occupation zone around the plant and more than 150000 people were forced to leave their homes an extensive operation to decommission the plant is expected to take decades but the plant operator now says they're running out of space to store the contaminated water. let's bring in our guests now in amsterdam yan have a count senior expert on nuclear energy and energy policy at greenpeace in tokyo michael prior president of the shin gets to news agency and also in tokyo tomohiko taniguchi a former special advisor to the cabinet oceans are also professor at the care university graduate school of system design and management welcome to you all i'd like to begin in tokyo with you tom he could turn to gucci the fact that they're doing this now the fact that they are considering releasing this treated radioactive water into the pacific ocean has many pe
