17 Mar 2019 – <\/em>The eight year old Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster marks a critical turning point in human history. <\/a><\/p>\n

As of November 2018, 18,434 people are known to have died from the March 11, 2011 earthquake and the follow-up tsunami which struck the nuclear facility leading to the inundation of electric generators powering the circulation of coolant in the reactors. When the generators failed, three units experienced catastrophic meltdowns. [1]<\/em><\/p>\n

Radioactive water has for years now been draining into the Pacific Ocean. Toxic debris spewed into the Earth\u2019s atmosphere. More than 73,000 people remain evacuated and fully 3,600 die from causes like illness and suicide linked to the aftermath of the event. [2]<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
