Referred to as three-eleven in Japan, today is the anniversary of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Meltdown, March 11, 2011.
The nuclear disaster occurred when the plant was hit by a tsunami triggered by one of the world’s most deadly earthquakes, a magnitude of 9.0. Radioactive material began releasing the next day.
