On March 11, 2011 an earthquake and tsunami rocked Japan, causing the tragic Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. 5 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.
