The podcast discusses the Fukushima disaster, which occurred due to a tsunami that disabled the power and cooling of three reactors. The cores melted, leading to radiation contamination and the need for evacuation. The podcast will cover the history, environmental impact, and social impact of the disaster. The cleanup of Fukushima is ongoing and has cost billions of dollars. The company responsible for the reactors had to compensate the affected victims. The podcast ends with a joke and a request to like and subscribe. What's up guys? Welcome to our podcast. My name is Hudson, and I'm with our co-host, Alvin Shoney. And today, we're going to be learning about the Fukushima disaster. Our host will go more on that later, but for now, let me introduce another person. She's the expert on this national disaster, and her name is... Abra. Yippee! On Friday, March 11, 2011, at 2.46pm, following a major earthquake, there was a tsunami that disabled the power and cooling of three Fukushima reactors, causing a nuclear accident to begin. All three cores largely melted in the first three days. And this event allowed for radiation to go into the water supply and the communities to follow. And this is why they had to evacuate. Now, you may be asking why it was so bad. Well, radiation is good at low doses because it can be used to cure cancer, warm up your food, and several other good utilities. But at high doses, when it escapes its container, it can lead to death, pregnancy defects, and can devastate the environment that is contaminated by it. Well, in this podcast, we're going to be going over the topics of a brief history, which we have already done, and we're going to go over the environmental impact and the social impact it had on the community. So now, to help us cover more information, we are going to ask our expert, Sabra, to help us with these topics. And I'm going to ask some questions. So first, we need to get to know our expert. We're going to... Hey, Sabra, I have a question for you. Considering you're an expert about this, what made you decide this was your choice? I've always thought that radiation was a good thing. I've always thought that radiation was a good thing. And I was inspired to do this. I have a question. What led you to the Fukushima disaster? Well, I don't know. I feel like radiation, as a way of measuring the volume of radiation, I didn't know it was going to be that much. I didn't know it was going to be that much. I don't know. I don't know radiation. I don't know radiation. I don't know radiation. I don't know radiation. I don't know radiation. I don't know radiation. I don't know radiation. I don't know radiation. I don't know radiation.

I don't know radiation. I don't know radiation. I don't know radiation. I don't know radiation. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. What is the status of the environmental cleanup of Fukushima? Here is our last question for the day. What were the people's public views on the power plant after this event? Sabra? Thank you. Thank you Sabra for joining us today. We are now done with the questions. And now to start a bit deeper into the environmental status of the Fukushima cleanup. So, the Fukushima cleanup was a pricey project. It costed around 1 trillion yen or 7.3 billion dollars annually for the cleanup. Done within 12 years. But the final price tag is this decontamination because it's still ongoing. The decontamination has exceeded the amount of 4 trillion dollars so far. Clean up all the radiation and take out and decontaminate the Fukushima nuclear reactors. And also, the company of the nuclear reactors had to pay every victim that was affected by it, so every person in the community, by 1,000 yen monthly. Now, just to wrap up our discussion, I don't think it's easy to explain what each of us did. To me, I talked to Mr. Miyamoto, and we heard that there is a long list of financial consequences. And I think... I talked about the history and how this event happened on our turf. And Sabra talked about how the Fukushima nuclear plant... Before we end on this day, we're going to end up with a little bit of a joke. And our joke is, why do the chickens cross the road? Why? Because they're happy for our decontamination. If you want to see any more of these podcasts, please tune in on another day. And, as we all say... Like and subscribe. Yes, sir! Goodbye.
