Just under 15 years after the catastrophic nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Japan has officially restarted a reactor at the world’s largest nuclear plant.

While many argue for the benefits that nuclear power can provide amid a rapidly growing climate crisis, the dangers that it poses are evident across a number of notably horrific incidents over the years.

Disasters in Kyshtym and Chernobyl have displayed the dangerous potential that a nuclear accident can cause, and few have been quite as devastating as the incident that occurred in Fukushima back in 2011.
