Waster incinerator plant, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. This plant is burning soil, vegetation and waste contaminated by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. The disaster, on 11th March 2011, was triggered after a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred 130 kilometres off the east coast of Japan causing a devastating tsunami. The tsunami damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, leading to the meltdown of three of the nuclear reactors and a leak of radioactive material. It was one of the world's largest nuclear incidents since the Chernobyl disaster of April 1986. Photographed in March 2020.
