About
Fukushima is a region in Japan that was devastated by a tsunami triggered by an earthquake in 2011, leading to a nuclear meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Recently, a 7.7-magnitude earthquake prompted a tsunami alert, while a princess of Japan visited the area for the first time in 15 years. Meanwhile, Germany is considering extending the lifespan of its coal-fired power plants due to energy crisis concerns. In other news, Israel is maintaining ambiguity about its nuclear capabilities after recent missile attacks. Fukushima workers are dedicating their lives to caring for abandoned pets affected by the disaster, while an innkeeper is conducting radiation surveys to revitalize her hometown. The Japanese government has paused the restart of the world's largest nuclear power plant due to a malfunction during startup procedures.
