    Location of Nuclear Power Plant that effected by Earthquick located at Fukushima , you can see it on the map .

    Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant

    Nuclear Technology used for generating power , .
    power generating using steam power , nuclear power used to generate this steam power. :cool: .this is how nuclear reactor works in nuclear power plant

    there are 6 nuclear reactors like this in fukushima japan nuclear power plant . due to Earth-quick cooling systems of , reactor 1 and 3 had stopped so they are over heating , so far 2 explotions have happend in nuclear reactor 1 and 2 , damaging reactor building roofs and walls in both reactors .

    but as they say still there no damage to nuclear reactors core (reactor vessels ) . so no major radiation leaking happening yet . which contains powerful radiations that can harm human life and if they released to air , whole area need to abandoned for many years like what happend in Ukraine in 1986 . Nuclear Core Damage called by " Nuclear Meltdown " .
