The Effects of Fukushima Daihatsu Nuclear Disaster

There are a few different cycles that the earth rotates around. Some of the cycles were affected by the Fukushima Daihatsu disaster. The Fukushima plant had suffered from a 9.0 magnitude earthquake. Plants, animals, and even people were affected by this disasters. Here’s a few ways that the plant disaster had affected the cycles and human life. The water cycle was affected by the Daihatsu plant was when the plant was overcome with a tsunami which killed the plants backup electricity, and the reactors core cooling system gradually slowed to a halt.

Impact on Water Cycle

The cores in the plant then melted, which shot plumes of radioactive particles into the air and spreading contamination across the sea. With that, huge amounts of the radioactive particles forced tens of thousands of people to flee from their homes. Currently though, the reactor cores are quiet.

Nitrogen Cycle Disruption

The nitrogen cycle was affected by the Daihatsu plant when some of the radioactive materials were exposed to land. The chemicals slowly seeped into the soil messing up the nutrients. The plant life that was there. The food supply would slowly become cut off as there wouldn’t be any life in the soil and the consumers would get sick from the contaminated plants. In return human who ate of these consumers would get sick and die off as well.

Phosphorous Cycle Consequences

The phosphorous cycle is affected by the Daihatsu plant when water is getting soaked up by plants that animals eat. After this process it eventually returns to the land through urine or feces. The radioactive material is then transported through this cycle. The plant messed up the food supply for the animals that had lived in the areas that were affected by the disaster.

Fossil Fuel Emissions Impact

The nitrogen cycle was affected by the Daihatsu plant because fossil fuels emissions. This could include the gases which were inserted into the clouds that then were transported back to the earth in the form of rain. All of the bad abortions into the ground. After time this will kill the soil making it impossible to make plant or grow any crops. Nitrogen is also what our bodies are made up of. So we have to be careful for what we eat as the people around the affected area had to.
