Speaker: Bryan Armentrout, Ph.D., assistant professor
Wednesday, March 18, 2015

It has been almost four years since a March 2011 earthquake-produced tsunami caused a high-level nuclear accident at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi Facility.
This talk will examine the subsequent stabilization and clean-up efforts at the site, the known extent of nuclear contamination, and the accident’s effect on energy production and consumption in both Japan and the U.S.
