(Natural News) Large portions of Japan’s Fukushima Prefecture remain abandoned ten years after the natural disaster that crippled the area. The prefecture bore the brunt of an earthquake and tsunami that hit it in 2011, damaging a nuclear power plant based in the town of Okuma. Truly, Fukushima still feels the effects of the Fukushima […]

(Natural News) Scientists raise the possibility of another nuclear accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, as fission reactions are smoldering once again in the nuclear reactor that melted down in 1986. This is according to the Institute for Safety Problems of Nuclear Power Plants (ISPNPP) in Ukraine. In a discussion last week about plans to dismantle the […]

(Natural News) Experts predict that the next big earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone will be much worse than the catastrophic earthquake that struck Japan in 2011. In a March episode of PBS Terra‘s “Weathered,” meteorologist and host Maiya May showed how vulnerable the Pacific Northwest is to the so-called “Big One” earthquake along Cascadia. She said that this disaster would likely cause more damage to the […]

(Natural News) A magnitude 7.3 earthquake rocked the Fukushima Prefecture in Japan on Feb. 13. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), the quake is an aftershock of the 2011 Japan earthquake that triggered enormous tsunamis and nuclear meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The powerful quake hit Saturday night off the coast of Fukushima, at a depth of 36 miles. […]

(Natural News) Did you hear about the radioactive leak that sent 100 times more radiation than Fukushima into the atmosphere? If the answer is no, you’re not the only one. The incident, which took place back in 2017, went largely under the radar despite the dangers it posed. Now, the source has been identified as […]

(Natural News) Living in the world’s biggest commercial producer of nuclear power has its downsides. Preppers and survivalists need to consider the possibility of an accident at the nearest nuclear power plant. Most of the 99 active nuclear reactors in the U.S. are found in New England, the South’s eastern seaboard, and Illinois. Only Alaska and Hawaii lack any […]

(Natural News) A Natural News investigation into the geolocation of nuclear power facilities in California reveals that five nuclear facilities were built in close proximity to the San Andreas fault line, with some constructed right in the middle of earthquake zones that have up to a 50% chance of a severe earthquake every 30 years. […]

UPDATE: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has now declared an emergency at the Brunswick nuclear power facility due to extreme flooding. The facility is running a “hot shutdown” sequence, and all personnel are currently blocked from accessing or entering the structure. This has been declared an emergency “hazardous event” by the NRC. See full details […]

(Natural News) After the Russian government initially denied any knowledge there had been a nuclear accident in the country, Moscow is now backtracking with officials saying they’ve discovered “extremely high” concentrations of a radioactive isotope in parts of the country. The acknowledgment comes amid reports that there had been a nuclear accident in Russia during the […]

(Natural News) A new study that was published on Monday, October 2 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showed that scientists were able to discover a place where radioactive material from the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant mishap had gravitated to – in sands and brackish groundwater near beaches that reached up […]
