In March 2011, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was severely damaged, first by a massive earthquake and then by a powerful tsunami. The tidal wave was so strong that it breached sea defenses and flooded the plant's reactor buildings. This caused a power cut that allowed fuel rods to overheat and partially melt down. Fourteen years later, Fukushima Daiichi is still in the process of being decommissioned—a project that is expected to be completed by 2051—but the area still has dangerously high radiation levels.
