The Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant, a 3-unit BWR site typical of Japan's nuclear plants.

Following an earthquake, tsunami, and the failure of cooling systems at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant on March 11, 2011, a nuclear emergency was declared. This was the first time a nuclear emergency had been declared in Japan, and 140,000 residents within 20 km of the plant were evacuated. The amount of radiation released is unclear, and the crisis is still ongoing.
