The findings of a new study by an international team of researchers who probed into the Fukushima nuclear disaster suggest that earthquake prone areas should be treated as 'atomic power plant free zones,' as reported in an IDN-InDepth NewsReport. "Scientists from Norway, Austria, Spain and the United States have found 'strong evidence' that the Great East Japan earthquake of the unprecedented magnitude of 9 caused 'structural damage' to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, emitting radioactive Xenon gas, before the tsunami tidal wave brought a train of havoc," says the report.
