It triggered a tsunami with a wall of water 128 feet high. The tsunami damaged the nuclear power plant in Fukushima triggering the nightmare scenario--a nuclear meltdown. For six days, employees at the plant worked to contain the meltdown and disaster workers scoured the surrounding flooded area for survivors. This book examines the science behind such a massive disaster and looks back at the people who experienced an unprecedented trifecta of destruction. 521 1 10-14. 521 2 5-9. 650 0 Fukushima Nuclear Disaster, Japan, 2011|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, Japan, 2011|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Nuclear accidents|xEnvironmental aspects|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Nuclear accidents|zJapan|zFukushima-ken|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Environmental disasters|zJapan|zFukushima-ken|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Nuclear energy|vJuvenile literature. 655 7 Informational works.|2lcgft 655 7 Illustrated works.|2lcgft
