Introduction• Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO)submits a report to

Japan’s nuclear agency on 7 March 2011.

• The huge earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station was struck by a magnitude 8.9 earthquake on March 11, 2011.

• 25 miles away from the Fukushima plant has been affected by radiation.

• 100,000 residents near the site of the incident have been affected.• Did not cause any immediate deaths.

The Main Cause of

Japan Nuclear Crisis

As You Know……

Earthquake and Tsunami

- Take down the nuclear plant in Fukushima.- The water flooded into the nuclear plant.- Rod overheated and cooling generators lost power- Explosion.

- Japanese do not enhance the safety improvement of nuclear plant.

- Tsunami study ignored.

Japan!!!

WHY!!!!!!???

Negative Impact• Health Issue• Environment• Business

Impact On Health Issue• 4% solid cancers in females • 6% breast cancer in females• 7% leukemia for males • 0.75% to 1.25% thyroid cancer in females

300 TONS

Impact On Environment

OF CONTAMINATED WATERPER DAY

Can filled up an olympic swimming pool over 8 days time!!

300tons = 272,152 liters

Water leaked to pacific ocean everyday= 272,152 litersEstimated water contained at Taylor’s lake= 4,000 liters

272,152 ÷ 4,000 = ??

68!!

REASON???

They needed spaces for their storage to store water that’s

even more contaminated

In total, 11 of Japan's 50 nuclear reactors were closed immediately following the earthquake.

Impact On Business

The capacity to produce electricity was reduced by as much as 40%, and has remained at less than 80% of pre-quake levels.

SOLUTION

U.S. AssistanceDaily needs, evacuation support, medical support decontamination and radiation monitoring equipment

450 MILLIONS!!!!

IMAGINATION!!!

REAL PICTURE

My country needs your knowledge and

expertise!!!
