"That said, this is something that Indonesian governments probably should have on the risk register somewhere — even if we're only talking about 'low frequency, high impact' events." The findings say tsunami waves as high as 13.7 metres could crash into Futaba town in Fukushima Prefecture, where the nuclear power plant is located.As per estimates, around 1,000 tanks of radioactive wastewater are stored in the compound.

Operator Tepco to this date is struggling to contain the release of the radioactive material from the plant.A study by the Japan government has projected that a tsunami with waves as high as 13.7 metres could overwhelm the 11-metre tall seawall being built by the Tepco on the ocean side of the compound to safeguard whatever is left of the nuclear station, Japanese broadcaster NHK reported. © Bennett Coleman & Company Limited Patrick Knox; 23 Apr 2020, 13:12; Updated: 23 Apr 2020… The 9-magnitude earthquake had struck off the coast of Japan and triggered a tsunami that devastated large parts of the country's northeast and led to the meltdown of three nuclear reactors at Fukushima.
"To save people’s lives, the basic policy would be evacuation. About a million tonnes of contaminated water, which has built up in tanks since the meltdown, could then be unleashed into the Pacific Ocean and cause a catastrophic environmental disaster. The earthquake that struck off Japan's east coast in March 2011 had a magnitude of seven, spawning a tsunami that led to the meltdown of three reactors at Fukushima.Here engineers are continuing to struggle to curb release of radioactive material in an intensive operation that is expected to last decades.
The scientists said it was plausible that a monster wave could happen soon because every 300 to 400 years a massive earthquake has taken place.

News of tsunami warnings for Fukushima and Miyagi prefectures is shown on TV at a shelter in Sendai, Japan, on Nov. 22, 2016, after a powerful earthquake shook the country's northeast. Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco), which runs the plant, is now urgently assessing the findings from the study. A spokesman said: "Tepco will examine the latest projections and analyse the impact on the ongoing preventive measures against tsunamis that the company has been taking.

Claim: Videos aired live or uploaded in April 2020 show that Japan was struck by a tsunami. The plant is already in the process of being decommissioned.“Tepco will examine the latest projections and analyse the impact on the ongoing preventive measures against tsunamis that the company has been taking,” news agency Reuters quoted a Tepco spokesman as saying.As per the panel of experts which released the findings on Tuesday, the scale of the tsunami being talked about could be triggered by a massive earthquake that may strike along the Japan Trench. Tepco is already in the process of cleaning up the nuclear power plant site which is expected to take decades. The panel predicts Iwate and Hokkaido would be worst-hit with a tsunami of nearly 100ft.But most worrying of all, Fukushima's sriken power station is also in the firing line for a giant wave. A Tokyo Electric Power Co. employee walks past storage tanks for contaminated water at the company's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Okuma, Fukushima, Japan, on Feb. 23, 2017.
The latest government projection suggests waves of nearly 70ft or more would be unleashed by a quake of magnitude nine.And a planned 36-ft seawall planned to protect the radiated site could be overwhelmed.
Seismologist Kenji Satake told the Mainichi newspaper it was a matter of when not if.The panel used a simulation based on analysis of tsunamis of the past 6000 years and covered seven prefectures including Hokkaido, Iwate, Miyagi, Fukushima, Ibarak, Aomori and Chiba. "Seismologist Kenji Satake, a University of Tokyo professor and head of the panel, said: “A massive earthquake of this class — shown in the simulation — would be difficult to deal with by developing hard infrastructure such as coast levees.
