Abstract

Historical events have an impact on the lives of people living at the time, and those residing in the future. They also contribute to the evolution of societies in terms of their structure, attitudes, and preparedness for similar occurrences in the years to come. These events can be social, political, technological, economic, and ecological in nature. Nevertheless, one event can touch all these facets on either a minor or major scale.

The Fukushima Daichi is a technological disaster triggered by natural calamities on March 11th, 2011, when a massive earthquake measuring 9.0 on the Richter scale hit Japan. The earthquake originated from Honshu Island, and it created a tsunami. Following the tremor, reactors one, two and three automatically shut down. Reactors 4, 5 and 6 had been previously shut down for maintenance and repairs. Due to felled power supply lines, the Fukushima Daichi reactor complex was cut off from the electricity grid. As the operating reactors had shut down, they could not generate power for them to cool down, and ...

According to the reading, the Trichromatic Theory proposes that our eyes are sensitive to three colors: red, green, and yellow. However, this is incorrect. In page 143 of the textbook, Trichromatic Theory states that we base our color vision on three primary colors – ...

Abstract August 21, 2010 was the date set for nuclear fuel to be weighed down to the first reactor at Bushehr. This was an announcement by the Russian Federal Atomic Energy Agency. The action would make the Bushehr resource be approved as a procedural power plant. The transfer of fuel to the facility was approximated to take a week. Bushehr fissile resource interested a number of controversies the United States inclusive. The reactor was designed with Russian specifications despite an agreement to be the central of a German-designed counter. At Bushehr, two reactors were present; one at its advanced stage of ...
