On 11 March 2011, a force-9 earthquake jolted the seabed 66 kilometres due east of Japan. Within 20 minutes, a black tsunami wave 14 metres high rolled in from above the epicentre. While struggling with the unfolding destruction, Japan had to cope with a third calamity -- the malfunctioning of a nuclear-power complex near the town of Fukushima.

Reviews for Fallout from Fukushima

'A much-needed wake-up call to the nightmare scenarios that can evolve when nuclear power goes wrong, even in a technologically advanced society. This book should be read by all those with an interest in our energy future.' - Dr Sue Wareham OAM, Member of the Management Committee in Australia, International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. 'The earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown that brought Japan close to collapse in the days and weeks that followed 11 March, 2011 also helped prise open a window into the way that for more than five decades high officials of state had colluded to create, cosset, and expand the nuclear industry, minimising safety concerns and evading democratic supervision. The result was a crisis of a depth and complexity hitherto unknown, from which author Broinowski doubts that the Japanese industry can recover... His book offers a lucid guide to the events and their implications, not only for Japan but also for the world.' - Gavan McCormack, Emeritus Professor, Australian National University.
