Reading, Read about the nuclear disaster at Fukushima. Then choose the correct answer.

Many people worry about the dangers that nuclear power plants pose for people and the environment. Nuclear power systems are designed to include many safety features, and almost all nuclear power plants work safely and efficiently. But natural disasters can happen.

One of the world’s most recent and serious nuclear disasters occurred at a power plant in Fukushima, Japan. On March 11, 2011, several nuclear reactors at the Fukushima plant were damaged by a massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake and a huge 33-foot-high tsunami. After the earthquake struck, the reactor’s cooling system lost power. When the cooling system failed, pressure in the reactor kept on rising, and radiation inside the plant rose to 1,000 times its normal level. The destroyed reactors were flooded with seawater in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent a nuclear meltdown.

Newspapers reported that approximately 160 people were exposed to radiation, and that three plant workers suffered from full radiation sickness. Over 200,000 people had to be evacuated from the area surrounding the site. Radiation from the nuclear plant even spread north and west toward the West Coast of the United States. It was detected by scientists in Sacramento, California, ten days later.

Fifty Fukushima plant workers remained on-site at the nuclear reactor after 750 other workers were evacuated. The jobs of these remaining workers were to prevent fires, keep the nuclear core cool with seawater, and install new power lines. These brave workers were limited to working in blocks of 15 minutes in high-radiation areas. All the workers wore special suits and masks to keep them as safe as possible.

Most nuclear power plants work safely and efficiently.
