Japan Marks 15th Anniversary of Devastating Quake, Tsunami, Nuclear Crisis
Japan commemorated the fifteenth anniversary of the catastrophic earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis that struck its northeastern coast in 2011. The disaster resulted in over twenty-two thousand deaths and displaced nearly half a million people. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi pledged to expedite recovery efforts and emphasized the lessons learned from the disaster. She also advocated for a resurgence of nuclear energy, reversing a previous policy to phase it out. Despite rebuilt infrastructure, communities and local economies in affected areas continue to lag behind. The Fukushima Daiichi plant, where three reactors melted down, is expected to be fully cleaned up by 2037 or later, with contaminated soil from decontamination efforts facing resistance to reuse plans.
