    An earthquake and 15-meter tsunami on March 11, 2011 caused a power loss at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan, resulting in multiple leaks that released radiation into the local environment. Over 2,000 people died from the initial natural disasters, while many more lost their homes and had to evacuate due to radiation exposure. Long-term consequences included increased risk of chronic disease, economic difficulties from job losses and poor soil quality impairing agriculture.
