Fukushima nuclear plant a year after start of crisis

TOKYO, Japan - Photo taken from a Kyodo News helicopter shows (from L in the background) the Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 reactor buildings in the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant on March 11, 2012, exactly a year after the start of the nuclear crisis there triggered by the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and massive tsunami. The disaster resulted in the loss of power at those four reactor facilities, prompting the government to declare nuclear emergency and direct residents in a 3-kilometer radius of the plant to evacuate on March 11, 2011.

TEPCO begins extending ice wall to block tainted water in Fukushima

Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. works on Aug. 22, 2017, to circulate coolant for the remaining section of a 1.5-kilometer-long, 30-meter-deep wall around the four damaged reactor buildings of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex. The work will extend an underground ice wall to prevent contaminated water from increasing within the facilities. (Pool photo)(Kyodo) ==Kyodo
