Tsunamis and Nuclear Sites

      Natural Disasters such as the tsunamis in Japan in 2011 that caused a major meltdown of three Fukushima Dai-ichi reactors and the evacuation of thousands is still a fear for preventative disaster managers. Researchers published in the Natural Hazards journal that 74 reactors at 23 plants are in areas of high risk for tsunami damage in the South East Asia area.

     Tsunamis are difficult to predict, as researchers are working out possible risk factors that could be improved to avoid potential worse tsunamis in the future, by studying the; historical, archeological and geological studies of disasters. The building and safety of nuclear power plants in at risk areas need to continuously be watched. The 15 meter tsunami which swept through Japan in 2011 could happen again.
