HydraSlayer's video: Japan Documentary: The Recovery of Fukushima Its People Piece Their Lives Back Together

Japan Documentary: The Recovery of Fukushima, Its People Piece Their Lives Back Together After Radiation Exposure. This in-depth documentary takes a look at the people of Fukushima and how they have gotten past one of the most devastating disasters ever seen -- not only in Japan but the World over. Interviews with survivors of the nuclear disaster offer an extraordinary insight into how life changed for them and their families, with many of the inhabitants of the local area being relocated and, essentially, evacuated.

The failure occurred when the plant was hit by a tsunami triggered by the Tōhoku earthquake; the plant began releasing substantial amounts of radioactive materials beginning on 12 March, becoming the largest nuclear incident since the Chernobyl disaster in April 1986 and the second (after Chernobyl) to measure Level 7 on the International Nuclear Event Scale, initially releasing an estimated 10-30% of the earlier incident's radiation. In August 2013, it was stated that the massive amount of radioactive water is among the most pressing problems that are affecting the clean-up process, which is expected to take decades. There have been continued spills of contaminated water at the plant, and some into the sea. Plant workers are trying to lower the leaks using measures such as building chemical underground walls, but they have not improved substantially. Although no short term radiation exposure fatalities were reported, some 300,000 people evacuated the area, 15,884 (as of 10 February 2014) people died due to the earthquake and tsunami, and as of August 2013 approximately 1,600 deaths were related to the evacuation conditions, such as living in temporary housing and hospital closures. The exact cause of the majority of these evacuation-related deaths was unspecified because that would hinder the deceased relatives' application for financial compensation. The World Health Organization indicated that evacuees were exposed to so little radiation that radiation-induced health impacts are likely to be below detectable levels, and that any additional cancer risk from radiation was small—extremely small, for the most part—and chiefly limited to those living closest to the nuclear power plant.
