Fukushima nuclear disaster: a year later

The Fukushima nuclear disaster has again shown us that nuclear reactors are fundamentally dangerous. None of the world’s 435 nuclear reactors are immune to human errors, natural disasters, or any of the many other serious incidents that could cause an accident. Millions of people who live near nuclear reactors are at risk.

A year after the nuclear accident at Fukushima, Japan, the lives of hundreds of thousands continue to be affected by the disaster. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families of the tens of thousands who died as a result of the tsunami, and to the more than 150,000 who had to flee their homes because of radiation contamination.
