On March 11, 2011 an earthquake and tsunami rocked Japan, causing the tragic Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Five years later and not much has changed.
The Rainbow Warrior, along with a research vessel, re-visited the area in February 2016 to conduct underwater marine radiation surveys within a 20km radius of the Fukushima Daiichi plant. Also on board was former Japanese Prime Minister, Mr Naoto Kan, who has spoken publicly against the nuclear industry, standing alongside millions of Japanese people opposed to nuclear power.
