March 23rd, 2140, 8:30am in the morning, Japanese government announced the leakage of nuclear waste in Fukushima after the 8.3 earthquake in Tokyo by every kind of social media including TV channel, radio station and so on. After the 8.3 earthquake in Tokyo since 2010 just occurred 2 hours ago, the newest report of Japanese marine scientific research center due to the highest percentage of radioactive material found in the ocean of eastern Japan sea, Japanese government announced that the nuclear station located in Fukushima has been destroyed.

Tokyo electric power company Fukushima 3rd reactor recently unknown liquids spill. After the initial judgment, the liquid is likely to prevent the reactor core melted and the water being pumped, concentration levels of radioactive substances is very high. According to reports, the reactor plant, 3rd floor over an area of about 30 square centimeters of fluid. Images captured by the monitor, such as suspected in the continued outflow of cooling water. Survey results released from the East, 1 liter of radioactive cooling water concentrations equivalent to beta-ray radiation source can produce 24 million becquerels of strontium, or 1.7 million becquerels of cesium 137 released Lere, high degree of risk. Cooling water temperatures of about 20 degrees, which is approximately the same temperature at the bottom of a nuclear reactor. Because the temperature below the underground water pollution, Tokyo electric power company judge its shell for nuclear reactor launched by the cooling liquid. Earthquake-triggered tsunami, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant station blackout, responsible for conveying coolant of the reactor's emergency cooling diesel engine group cannot run. Reactors nuclear substance within the long lack of cooling, so that the reactor core temperature rise. High temperature caused large cooling liquid evaporation, pressure inside the reactor, the containment unit faced the risk of overpressure. Japan experienced after the earthquake, serious faults with Daiichi, the air pressure in the reactor vessel design has been reached 1.5 times. Japan Trade Minister Mr kaieda 12th early this morning that Government is urgent consultations on the matter, taking into account the release of pressure in the reactor vessel, but there will be a trace leakage of steam containing radioactive substances. Because the equipments were designed with a 8.0 seismic resistance but now when it comes to 8.3, the power of

earthquake was too large for it to handle, after 25 mins of struggling, the ice wall and other important parts of nuclear waste started leaking. The facilities and workers are still trying to fix the broken equipments while taking the great risk of touching radioactive material because at same time the leaking of nuclear wasted radioactive materials directly go into the ocean, which caused the pollution of everything near eastern Japan sea. Japanese people started getting scared and packing their daily essential goods to move to inland Japan or other countries that they have friends or relatives living in. The reason why they are so concerned is not only because of the nuclear leakage but also the potential explosion that may caused by it. Japan Government acknowledged that Fukushima nuclear power plant damaged in the quake, 2nd reactors are "accidents". It is reported that the total of three reactors at the Fukushima because the cooling system stopped working point. Among them, the 2nd

high temperature nuclear fuel for reactors was "accident". At present, a total of 210,000 people were evacuated to safe areas. 1th reactors at the Fukushima plant had exploded, resulting in wall was badly damaged. However, is fortunate, 1th, 15 cm thick metal housing of the reactor safe. At that time, the Japan Government stressed that after the explosion, around Fukushima's radioactive substances does not increase further, 1th, also began to gradually reduce the pressure inside the reactor. However, the 2nd and 3rd reactor ensued to the danger. It is reported that the explosion of these reasons is that emergency workers to reduce reactor pressure opens the valve discharge radioactive gas contains large amounts of hydrogen. After the diffusion of hydrogen into the engine room explosion around the whole factory roof and external walls destroyed. In addition, spray on the reactor shell "cool water" also decompose into hydrogen under high temperature and also exploded. Relevant information shows that at the Fukushima power plant nuclear reactors, hot rods require large cooling water for cooling. When the water reaches boiling point, then, must be overridden by low-temperature water, which is the basic workflow of the cooling system. After the power outage, cooling water under heat produce a lot of hydrogen, resulting in increasing pressure within the heap, which exceeds the safety value more than twice times.
