- In the 2011 nuclear accident at Fukushima, Japan, an ENV earthquake-triggered tsunami wiped out emergency generators, leaving three reactors without a source of cooling water. Although safety systems shut down the reactors during the earthquake, ra- dioactive decay continued to generate thermal energy at the rate of some 33 MW. In a desperate attempt to cool the reactors, operators used fire engines to pump seawater into the reactors.
