2011: An earthquake with the magnitude of 9.0 appears under water not far from the coast of Japan.
First the quake itself devastates the area, but more importantly it triggers a tsunami wave which adds on top of this.
A nearby nuclear power plant in Fukushima was affected heavily by both and, due to human arrogance and greed that made it be constructed suitable to economical needs, but not apropriate to the needs of a facility that stands on a cliff coast of a volcanic island, a meltdown appeared during the following days.
400.000 people in estimated numbers had to leave their homes and be evacuated in the zone set by the state around the power plant.
The state of Japan, being located where it is, hung on a thing thread depending on the outcome of the acute actions made to meet this disaster.

Still until this very day, the consequences out of this event keep the authorities busy.

Yesterday I spoke to my floor neighbor, he is sixty five, a pensioner from fifty cause was working on harmful factories, he has no tooth, his legs are nearly not working cause his back is profusely damaged. When I am telling his to cure his back he is telling that he is preparing for death cause he has lived enough... I am thinking for such old fellow it would be fine to die some how much more interesting than to get rotten weak on a bed but... the children... maybe only the thought about our children is stoping this world or powerful fat asses starting wars for profit to not play to hard with countries paying the bill to have a nuclear answer to the main question...

Hm, I'd say...
What has conquering territory and other countries resources been for? What purpose?
To use it yourself. So you can't contamine it for thousands of years because that oil will also be your gasoline inside the tank of your expensive car. Your food will also come from potentially contamined sources...
So that's why the nuclear answer still remains like some sort of "very last option to win the game". Things just have moved on since Little Boy...
No rich guy wants to suffer damage himself from his chessboard games.
