#62 - The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster
from Hikikomori
The earthquake and tsunami that rocked Northern Honshu on the 11th March, 2011, had far-reaching consequences beyond the natural disaster. After the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant lost electric power, multiple cooling systems failed, and over the coming days multiple core meltdowns led to the worst nuclear catastrophe since Chernobyl. And it was entirely preventable. Today's guest is Hannah Lane!
