Desspite the known nuclear accidents have occurred at nuclear power plants they also occur in other places where nuclear energy is used to work. For example placester  such as hospitals, research laboratories. To determine the severity of an accident, an Internanational Nuclear Event Scale has been established. Because of earthquake and tsunami, in sveral towns, like Sendai, Kesennuma, Kuji, Yamadamachi, and Rikuzentakata there was a major infrastructure failure from transportation to power distribution. Due to lack of there was a failure in cooling down the nuclear plants. Nuclear stations adopted the shut down operation which includes insertion of rods and stopping the nuclear reaction. But cores continued to produce high levels of heat in reactor. In feukushima 1 which is most significant accident site , the reactors were failed to get cool down. Even after trying all possible efforts the pressure and temperature continued to rise. So government made it mandatory to evacuate due to these nuclear accidents. Because that  of  failure there was an explosion  in Feukushima-1. But radiation was gradually decreasing due to the sea water cooling effect. f2015273 https://padlet.com/f2015273/vx726qf8sl7s/wish/72056088 2015-09-24 20:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/f2015273/vx726qf8sl7s/wish/72056088
