Question:
What role did the earthquake play in the nuclear power reactors?
What problems are there with these reactors now?
PLEASE HELP.
Answer:
Power was cut to cooling pumps after the tsunami (caused by earthquake) swept through and damaged electrical components. Water cooling the fuel rods began to evaporate away and after it reached a certain temperature inside the reactor containment vessels, some buildings exploded because of hydrogen buildup. Recently, power has been restored to the cooling pumps and they're doing better.
