Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in 2011 damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility in Japan. One of the reactors melted down and released about 58 pounds of caesium-137 into the Pacific Ocean. Caesium-137 has a half-life of 30 years and is dangerous because radiation from it is easily spread in water. A research question related to this natural disaster could help determine if the radiation released by this event lead to increased incidence of illness and reduction in life expectancy for people in the area.
