Deirdre Langeland's Meltdown explores for middle grade readers the harrowing story of the deadly earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown that caused the 2011 Fukushima power plant disaster
On March 11, 2011, the largest earthquake ever measured in Japan occurred off the northeast coast. It triggered a tsunami with a wall of water 128 feet high. The tsunami damaged the nuclear power plant in Fukushima triggering the nightmare scenario--a nuclear meltdown. For six days, employees at the plant worked to contain the meltdown and disaster workers scoured the surrounding flooded area for survivors. This book examines the science behind such a massive disaster and looks back at the people who experienced an unprecedented trifecta of destruction.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Roaring Brook PressISBN-13:9781626727007ISBN-10:1626727007UPC:9781626727007Book Category:Juvenile NonfictionBook Subcategory:Science & Nature, People & Places, HistoryBook Topic:Disasters, AsiaSize:9.10 x 6.40 x 0.80 inchesWeight:1.3713Product ID:SCH0D8FJ64
