2 HUGE TRAGEDY
3 AN ACCIDENT AT THE FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT (NPP) 3
4 Earthquake, Tsunami, & Events at the Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) 4
5 Damages to Fukushima Daiichi NPP -All operating units were automatically shut down safely, when earthquake occurred. -Emergency D/Gs had worked properly until the Tsunami attack. 1 Loss of Off-site Power due to the Earthquake Partly damaged Grid Line Tsunami (inundation height 14~15 m) Turbine Building Reactor Building About 25 M About 44M D/G Emergency Diesel Generators Seawater level Seawater Pump Elevation: About 10 m 2Emergency Diesel Generator Inoperable due to the Tsunami 3Blackout & loss of all Cooling Function 5

9 Release of radionuclides The earthquake and tsunami affected the Fukushima Daiichi NPP and caused serious damages to NPP, resulting in a large amount of radioactive materials being released into the environment.

Most of them were reallocated to outside hospitals. However, approximately 700 patients remained left within the 20 km zone. 0:47 Emergency evacuation was issued for patients in hospitals and facilities within the 20 km zone 11:01 Second hydrogen explosion at Unit 3 Eleven workers got injured. 13
