Waster incinerator plant, Okuma, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. This plant is burning waste, both normal and radioactive, from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. The disaster, on 11th March 2011, was triggered after a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred 130 kilometres off the east coast of Japan causing a devastating tsunami. The tsunami damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, leading to the meltdown of three of the nuclear reactors and a leak of radioactive material. It was one of the world's largest nuclear incidents since the Chernobyl disaster of April 1986. Photographed in March 2020. | |
