The Fukushima Daichi power plant was well prepared for the earthquake it seems. As soon as it came, the nuclear reactors stopped automatically as a safety precaution. However, they never anticipated the tsunami or perhaps not a tsunami so severe. It flooded the power plant, rendering the back up system useless. Without the emergency power, the cooling system couldn't function. That was the beginning of it all. As Japan struggles to contain the radiation, the world is watching anxiously. The Japanese, with all their ingenuity, are facing their greatest fight yet!
