B13 The POWERFUL earthquake in Japan in March 2011 destroyed a lot B14 of BUILDINGS and roads and caused another dreadful disaster - tsunami - which reached the north-east and ruined a small town of Takajo B15 with a POPULATION of about 12,000 people.
B16 What is worse, tsunami PARALISED Fukushima nuclear plants situated on the shores of Japan and damaged the cooling systems of five nuclear reactors. The cooling systems must B17 CONTINUE pump water to keep a dangerous material at a safe temperature. Otherwise, the water will boil off, the fuel will melt and burn, and radioactive material might escape from the reactor. To prevent people from radiation, B18 JAPANESE officials ordered the evacuation of all citizens within an eight-mile radius of the plants. Radiation exceeded the normal levels dramatically: about 9 times normal outside the plants and as high as 1,000 times normal inside.
