    The earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011 was magnitude 9.0, one of the largest ever recorded. The epicenter was in Miyagi Prefecture and the quake caused widespread damage, particularly along the Tohoku coast. It also triggered a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, located about 150 miles north of Tokyo, where explosions and radiation leaks occurred at several reactors due to the loss of cooling functions from the earthquake and tsunami. The disaster caused over 15,000 deaths and left thousands more missing or injured.

    Major Impact of the Earthquake
    • Long-term Massive Black Out
    →Tokyo Electric Power implements planned outrage by rotation in capital region.
    →Nuclear power plant in Fukushima supplied 10% of demands of TEP area.
    →It will take at least 1-2 weeks to complete reconstruction and may keep at
    the last of April.

    • Paralysis of Infrastructure because of Black out


    →Public transportation system company reduce operation number except Yamanote
    Line and Chuo Line.
    →Water failure will occur come along with the black out.
    →Hospital function will stop in the black out region.

    • Production Stoppage of Manufacturing Industry


    • Total financial damage may be over $100 billion
    →Budget shortfall is worried now. LDP suggest raising tax by temporary legislation.
