Since then, a series of accidents have occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, about 250km northeast of Tokyo, sparking fears of a new disaster equal in proportion to the one caused by the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear station in April 1986.
Od tada je došlo do niza havarija u nuklearnoj elektrani Fukušima Daiči, oko 250 kilometara severoistočno od Tokija, što je izazvalo strahovanja od nove katastrofe jačine one koju je uzrokovala eksplozija u nuklearnoj elektrani Černobil u aprilu 1986. godine.
