Lessons From Fukushima Unheeded by Safety Regulators in Europe – Greenpeace

The European Union’s nuclear industry has failed to draw lessons from the Fukushima plant disaster and adopt safety measures, environmental advocacy group Greenpeace said Monday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – In March 2011, several reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan suffered a meltdown as a result of a powerful earthquake and a subsequent tsunami. Hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated from the area due to a major leak of nuclear matter.
