Aisha Fukushima Event Analysis

Physical disability culture should be considered as a culture itself along with race, gender, ethnicity, and sexuality. Disability culture, includes behaviors, beliefs, and ways of living, that are unique to persons affected by disability. Here in the United States, non-disabled individuals typically view disability culture as primarily social and political in nature, whereas academic communities view disability culture from predominantly historical perspectives (Peters, 2014). In some countries, people with disabilities are still segregated and lack access to education. In the United States, many individuals with disabilities battle discrimination in terms of employment, housing, education, and access to public buildings and services. As do individuals from many other cultures, persons with disabilities share a common bond of experiences and resilience (Darrow, 2013).

Nuclear explosions are always a tragedy for the people and for the environment of the Earth. The consequences of the nuclear accident might stay for a long time harming the environment if the actions taken were wrong. Unfortunately, some accidents connected with nuclear power happened in the world and in some cases the consequences are remaining until this time. To find out which government’s reaction was the rightest, I will compare accidents like Fukushima, Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. I will see which government took the actions, which helped reduce the danger of the accidents. By comparing the amount of deaths and victims, I will understand which government protected the people better. The reaction time is also important, depending

People with disabilities are individuals that I consider as those that have a different culture of their own. How they deal with their disability, how they relate to other people, and how united they become as a strong unit of people that understand each other made me appreciate the various aspects that people need to take subtle when dealing with others who differ from them. It made me even more intrigued by finding ways to better improve their lives by choosing to pursue a profession in speech-language

We are born into our ethnicity, race, gender, and culture. They are a part of who we are when we enter this world. One of the few diversities that may be acquired later on in our lives is disability. All of us, regardless of where we come from, what we believe, or who we are, can be afflicted with some form of disability in our life time through disease, accident, or other conditions that render us incapable of caring for ourselves in the same way that was possible before. This knowledge creates fear and is one of the primary reasons for the prejudice and stigma our society places on the disabled. The process of recognizing this fear, becoming knowledgeable, and culturally aware, is the ideal for individuals moving towards cultural

Since some countries in the region have already embarked on the nuclear energy option and some others are planning to do so, an increased attention in the country has been given to protective measures in case of a nuclear/radiological emergency. Experience from nuclear accidents at Chernobyl and recently, in Fukushima showed a lack of sufficient capacity for screening internal contamination of the public and pointed out the necessity for its development [1]. Additionally, increasing the national applications of nuclear technology in industry, nuclear medicine and researches involved radioisotopes utilization, resulted in legal and technical provisions adopted on the national level supporting protection of the public and radiation workers against

Chemical accidents can happen anywhere, and anytime. That is one of the reason it is very important to be safe and cautions when you are working in the lab area. Regardless of what supplies you might be using that day. Not too long ago there was a major nuclear accident that took place on March 11, 2011 in Japan. It was known as the Fukushima accident.

It has been nearly seven years since the nuclear power plant accident in Fukushima, Japan. It was on March 11, 2011 when the pacific coast of Honshu, the largest island in Japan, was hit by a forceful earthquake of magnitude of 9.0 and following tsunami. The powerful waves came in all the way up to ten kilometers inland and the result was over twenty thousand people dead or missing and an enormous amount of vital infrastructure damage including the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.1 There were six reactors operating in the region at the time and three of them reached full meltdown due to the failure of the cooling system caused mainly by the tsunami, releasing dozens of radioactive elements into the

It has been three years since Japan experienced its worst ever earthquake, causing serious damage to Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The 9 magnitude quake and its resulting tsunami sent three of Japan's reactors into meltdown. This led to reactors being exposed to the environment and radiation waste able to seep into the ground as runoff and affect more areas. Could the government have done more in the early stages of this disaster to prevent any more horrible damage to the environment? Perhaps even lowering or dramatically reducing the cost and how much more Japan has to pay in order to clean up this mess? In this essay, I hope to explain my research of the disaster in Fukushima, Japan and hope to give a thorough explanation on the effects of radiation on the environment and how it affects life across the region.

The impact from the accident at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima, Japan has had major biological effects that are still effecting people, animals and plants to this day.

On Friday, 11 March 2011, a 9.1 magnitude earthquake/nuclear disaster shook Fukushima city at the north-eastern coast of Hionshu island near the town Okuma. The earthquake caused a tsunami with 30-foot waves that damaged several nuclear reactors in the area, leaving nearly 20,000 deaths and 2,500 missing caused by the initial earthquake and tsunami and by post-disaster health conditions. (CNN, 2017)

The Fukushima nuclear plant was on the television; tsunami had hit this plant. A massive amount of stories from air to even in milk. The media is always un believable with these kind of things, always seeming to throw everybody into a panic. If we step aside from the hyperbole and the news reports what do, we find in nuclear power? The truth? In spite of these recent events that made the world nearly hate nuclear power. However, it’s still a source of clean power that needs to be advanced and overseen properly.

Five years after the nuclear disaster, Fukushima returned to export agricultural products. Including rice Japan began to be sent to the United Kingdom next month.

How each of the accidents was similar to each other was that in each of the accidents the core of the power plant had a meltdown causing a number of problems to occur to the area around it. In the accident of Chernobyl and Fukushima, they both had to have a cover built over the cores so that the radiation that was in the core not leak out. Also, the backup power in both cases did not help keep the power plant to in the emergencies that it had. A short-term effect that was caused by both of the accident was that they were able to manage the power plant cores and stop more radiation from coming out of the cores. The long-term effect is that the radiation that was released after the meltdown will take a long time to be recovered, but the people

Fukushima was the second worst nuclear disaster in the history of the world. Contamination can spread through air, dust, trash, wildlife, and of course water. TEPCO reported that around 300 tons of contaminated water had leaked in to the ocean. By April 15, 2011 radiation levels were 6500 times the legal limit. Cod and pollock are important because of their global demand. Cod has tested positive for radiation contamination more than once since the disaster, not only in the Fukushima area, but in many other areas too. 70% of domestic product comes from the Pacific Ocean. This has led to a lot of negative information circulating through Japanese society and a shortage of positive information (or at least an indifference to it). Negative

This paper will address how the Fukushima Nuclear Power plant violated the following NSPE Canons of Engineering Ethics: holding the paramount of safety, health, and welfare of the public, and avoiding deceptive acts. The misjudgment and underperformance by the engineers during the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake caused a large uproar of rejection towards nuclear power in Japan, which could have been prevented if the engineers had not misconducted before the events.
