In Pictures: Fukushima Is A Nuclear Radiation Nightmare
It's been an uphill battle for the coastal prefecture of Fukushima, Japan, since an earthquake and tsunami devastated the region in 2011, causing a nuclear disaster at its power plant. Six years later, workers are still battling to decommission the plant, where radiation is deadly. Officials expect the cleaning won't be finished for decades. "This is an accident that does not exist in the past tense, but in the present progressive form," Fukushima Gov. Masao Uchibori said earlier in March, criticizing Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for not explicitly the disaster in his annual speech. "It's not possible to avoid using the important and significant terms of the nuclear plant accident of nuclear power disaster."
