Same culture a year later, nothing changes, there all just waiting for the next meltdown, as there is no way to contain the radiation, the containment units that are being used to cool the nuclear fuel have been damaged and may collapse under their own weight.
Such an event would cause widespread nuclear fallout throughout the region and force the government to evacuate the nearly 10 million residents of Tokyo and surrounding areas. One of the big issues is the possibility that the spent nuclear fuel pool of the No. 4 reactor at the stricken Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant will collapse. This is something that experts from both within and outside Japan have pointed out since the massive quake struck. TEPCO, meanwhile, says that the situation is under control. However, not only independent experts, but also sources within the government say that it’s a grave concern.
The worse-case scenario drawn up by the government includes not only the collapse of the No. 4 reactor pool, but the disintegration of spent fuel rods from all the plant’s other reactors. If this were to happen, residents in the Tokyo metropolitan area would be forced to evacuate.
If any of this happens we will see a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented scale as millions of refugees will have no choice but to flee Tokyo.
They’ll have no possessions, no money, no food, no water, no shelter, and a very fragile safety net.
