After two weeks, the three reactors (units 1-3) were stable with water addition and by July they were being cooled with recycled water from the new treatment plant. Official 'cold shutdown condition' was announced in mid-December.

Apart from cooling, the basic ongoing task was to prevent release of radioactive materials, particularly in contaminated water leaked from the three units. This task became newsworthy in August 2013.

A megathrust earthquake, a giant tsunami and a nuclear disaster all arose within five hours. In just over six hours, 200,000 people had been evacuated.

The earthquake generated a 45 ft tsunami, which struck the coast about 50 minutes later. The giant wave immediately breached the nuclear power station's seawall, flooding the basement levels where the 13 emergency diesel generators were stationed.
The government ordered an evacuation at 8.50 p.m. Everyone within 2 km of the plant was ordered to move to a safe distance.

The radiation is being cleaned to this day, and Japan is being aided in doing so by many countries. It has served as a lesson to many countries what nuclear power can do. To this day people are doing they’re best to get rid of the after effects of the disaster and it is estimated to take a long time.

Although employees have returned to the Daiichi power plant to work there daily, its ruins still pose a significant threat. Nuclear radiation remains dangerous in and around the destroyed reactors. Villages in its proximity will remain a no-go zone for inhabitants for an unpredictably long time.

116 cases of thyroid cancer in children has been reported since the nuclear disaster, in March 2011. That is roughly 20 to 50 times higher than the national average.

A World Health Organisation (WHO) follow-up report of the disaster said that the residents of Fukushima received between one and 10 mSv of radiation after one full year of the explosions.

To put that into perspective, a patient receiving a full-body CT scan would receive around 10 mSv of radiation. Scientists have found that for any clear indication of increased cancer risk, a person would have to endure an annual total of 100 mSV.

As it stands, there have been no reported deaths from the radiation itself.

Over 15,800 people died from the combined effect of the events. More than 2,500 are still missing.

The accident was rated 7 on the INES scale, due to high radioactive releases over days 4 to 6.

Japan got help from all across the world to make dealing with the disaster easier and because it was a potential threat to other countries as well.
Some countries that helped were Russia and America.

Around 18,000 people died in the events of 11 March, 2011. Children are still being found to have thyroid cancer even to this day.
