Document Summary
Video: japan tsunami: explain how the interaction between the eurasian plate and the pacific plate led to the earthquake. Reacting cores had no cooling besides electricity got taken out and backup batteriers were dead. 14ft walls but coast sank. temp rises increasing pressure build up creates hydrogen gas and exploded. Inject seawater into the reactors in an effort to cool them but didn"t work. Wanted to destroy the actual plant instead of trying to save it: why might a similar earthquake/tsunami event happen off the west coast of north.
