On March 11, 2011, a devastating earthquake and tsunami struck Japan's northeastern coastline. This natural disaster triggered a series of catastrophic events at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, resulting in a nuclear meltdown and the release of radiation into the environment. The accident is considered the worst nuclear disaster since the 1986 Chernobyl accident. It was rated 7 on the International Nuclear Event Scale (INES), making it a Level 7 Major Accident – the highest rating on the scale. The Japanese government lost control over three of the plant's six nuclear reactors, leading to partial meltdowns in two of them. In addition, hydrogen-air explosions damaged both the primary and secondary containment structures. This caused significant releases of radioactive material into both the air and sea.
