About this tag
Typhoon Ma-on was a powerful storm that threatened the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in July 2011, following the earthquake and tsunami that caused a nuclear disaster. The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) took precautions, including installing a makeshift roof over reactor 3's turbine building to cover a hydrogen blast hole and disconnecting a hose carrying low-level radioactive water to a barge due to high wave risks.
