Has Japan or any other countries developed new safeguards against this type of disaster and what are those safeguards?

In August 2013, it was stated that the significant amount of radioactive water was among the most pressing problems affecting the cleanup process, which is expected to take decades. There have been continued spills of contaminated water at the plant, some into the sea. Plant workers are trying to contain the leaks using measures such as building chemical underground walls, but they have not yet improved the situation significantly.

How was the meltdown of the nuclear power plants affected people living in Japan?

The World Health Organization indicated that evacuees were exposed to so little radiation that radiation-induced health impacts are likely to be below detectable levels, and that any additional cancer risk from radiation was small—extremely small, for the most part—and chiefly limited to those living closest to the nuclear power plant.

What has been done to clean up after the disaster

Since the disaster, the Japanese government and the Tokyo Electric Power Company, which runs the Daiichi Plant, have taken on one of the largest and most ambitious clean up efforts ever.
