JAPAN EARTHQUAKE AND NUCLEAR CRISIS

Japan is struggling with its worst-ever nuclear power disaster, following the magnitude-9 earthquake and massive tsunami that struck the country on 11 March. Nature brings you regular updates, analysis and comment on the crisis. Japanese Site

Fukushima disaster on Dipity.

LATEST COVERAGE

The most recent news and comment articles from Nature and its sister journals.

Editorial: A little knowledge
The Japanese authorities have done well in releasing copious amounts of crude data on the nuclear crisis. But it is imperative for the data to be provided in more meaningful and user-friendly ways.
Nature 472 , 135 ( 14 April 2011 )
Are larger earthquakes a sign of the times?
Seismologists debate whether the recent spate of megaquakes is a statistical fluke or something more.
( 14 April 2011 )
Water goes out but comes in faster at Fukushima
A quick roundup of what's happening at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
( 14 April 2011 )
Fukushima's "red alert" sparks questions about rating system
International Atomic Energy Agency reports under fire for instilling panic.
( 13 April 2011 )
Comment: Shake-up time for Japanese seismology
Robert J. Geller calls on Japan to stop using flawed methods for long-term forecasts and to scrap its system for trying to predict the 'Tokai earthquake'.
( 13 April 2011 )
How Fukushima is and isn't like Chernobyl
The Japanese government has upgraded Fukushima on the International Nuclear Events Scale to a 7. The new rating puts Fukushima on a par with Chernobyl but the reality is that the two accidents are very different.

INTERACTIVE

Online exclusives including a timeline of our coverage to date and a clickable map of the world’s nuclear power plants.

Timeline of Nature's coverage of Japan's earthquake and nuclear disaster
A magnitude 9 earthquake struck Japan on 11 March 2011, triggering a powerful tsunami and severely damaging the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station. This is the story of the struggle to regain control of the failing station, and to deal with the released radioactivity.

Japan's nuclear disaster: live Q&A on 6 April
Nature held a live Q&A on 6 April with Jim Smith, an environmental physicist from the University of Portsmouth and senior reporter Geoff Brumfiel. You can access the full transcript here.
( 04 April 2011 )
The world's nuclear reactors as you've never seen them...
The nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daichii power plant will have consequences for the future of nuclear power in Japan and elsewhere.

New evacuations announced as earthquakes and protests rock Fukushima nuke plant
Life is not getting any easier at the stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant. On Friday, a 7.1 earthquake rocked the plant, and at 5.16 pm this afternoon Japan time [8.16 am GMT] another powerful magnitude 6.6 quake struck less than 100 km to the southeast.

New quake rocks Japan
Another powerful earthquake has just hit the disaster region in north-eastern Japan. The magnitude 7.4 quake, probably an aftershock of the magnitude 9.0 quake on March 11, occurred at 13.1 kilometres depth 330 kilometres northeast of Tokyo, according to the US Geological Survey. A tsunami warning was issued, but has now been lifted.
