On March 11, 2011, an earthquake in the Pacific Ocean caused a tsunami to strike Japan.

You probably remember seeing this in the news, because, directly in the path of the tsunami sat the Fukushima nuclear power plant.

As the waves crashed into the reactors, the plant’s cooling systems lost power and the nuclear reactors overheated. Pressure built until explosions spewed radioactive materials into the environment.
