Recently two reactors at Japan's Sendai nuclear power plant received approval. It will be the first such restart following Japan's post-Fukushima decision to close all nuclear plants nationwide
The magnitude 9.0 earthquake at Japan's Sendai nuclear power plant just offshore from Northern Honshu, Japan was one of the strongest earthquakes in recorded history. The resulting tsunami was one of the worst ever recorded. The earthquake and tsunami extensively damaged six 33 to 40 year old nuclear generating units at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. More than 10,000 people died in the earthquake and tsunami. Not a single person died or was made seriously ill by damage to the nuclear power plant. (1)
