Fukushima Prefecture (福島県, Fukushima-ken) is a prefecture of Japan located in the Tōhoku region on the island of Honshu. The capital is the city of Fukushima.
Until the Meiji Restoration, the area of Fukushima prefecture was part of what was known as Mutsu Province.
The Shirakawa Barrier and the Nakoso Barrier were built around the 5th century to protect 'civilized Japan' from the 'barbarians' to the north. Fukushima became a Province of Mutsu after the Taika Reforms were established in 646.
In 718, the provinces of Iwase and Iwaki were created, but these areas reverted to Mutsu some time between 722 and 724.
The province of Fukushima was conquered by Prince Subaru in 1293. This region of Japan is also known as Michinoku and Ōshū.
The Fukushima Incident took place in the prefecture after Mishima Michitsune was appointed governor in 1882.
The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and the resulting Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster caused significant damage to the prefecture, primarily but not limited to the eastern Hama-dōri region.

Japan (i/dʒəˈpæn/; Japanese: 日本 Nippon [nip̚põ̞ɴ] or Nihon [nihõ̞ɴ]; formally 日本国 Nippon-koku or Nihon-koku, "State of Japan") is an island country in East Asia. Located in the Pacific Ocean, it lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, the East China Sea, China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south. The kanji that make up Japan's name mean "sun origin", and Japan is often called the "Land of the Rising Sun".
Japan is a stratovolcanic archipelago of 6,852 islands. The four largest are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku, which make up about ninety-seven percent of Japan's land area. Japan's population of 126 million is the world's tenth largest. Approximately 9.1 million people live in Tokyo, the capital city of Japan, which is the sixth largest city proper in the OECD. The Greater Tokyo Area, which includes Tokyo and several surrounding prefectures, is the world's largest metropolitan area with over 35 million residents and the world's largest urban agglomeration economy.
A prefecture (from the Latin Praefectura) is an administrative jurisdiction or subdivision in any of various countries and within some international church structures, and in antiquity a Roman district governed by an appointed prefect.
Prefecture most commonly refers to a self-governing body or area since the tetrarchy when Emperor Diocletian divided the Roman Empire into four districts (each divided into dioceses, grouped under a Vicarius (a number of Roman provinces, listed under that article), although he maintained two pretorian prefectures as an administrative level above the also surviving dioceses (a few of which were split).
As canon law is strongly inspired by Roman law, it is not surprising that the Catholic Church has several offices under a prefect. That term occurs also in otherwise styled offices, such as the head of a congregation or department of the Roman Curia. Various ecclesiastical areas, too small for a diocese, are termed prefects.
Arnold "Arnie" Gundersen (born 4 January 1949 in Elizabeth, New Jersey) is a former nuclear industry executive, and engineer with more than 44 years of nuclear industry experience who became a whistleblower in 1990. Gundersen has written dozens of expert reports for nongovernment organizations and the state of Vermont. His curriculum vitae shows Gundersen is a licensed Critical Facility Reactor Operator from 1971-1972.
Gundersen questioned the safety of the Westinghouse AP1000, a proposed third-generation nuclear reactor and has expressed concerns about the operation of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant. He served as an expert witness in the investigation of the Three Mile Island accident and has provided commentary on the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.
Gundersen is a graduate of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (1971), with a B.S. cum laude and a GPA of 3.74 in nuclear engineering, holds a master's degree in nuclear engineering, and gained an Atomic Energy Commission Fellowship (1972). Gundersen has more than 40 years of nuclear power engineering experience. Gundersen holds a nuclear safety patent, was a licensed reactor operator, and is a former nuclear industry senior vice president. During his nuclear power industry career, Gundersen also managed and coordinated projects at 70 nuclear power plants in the US.
The Tadami Line (只見線, Tadami-sen) is a railway line in Japan operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). It connects Aizu-Wakamatsu Station in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima with Koide Station in Uonuma, Niigata. The section between Aizu-Kawaguchi and Tadami has been closed since July 2011 due to rainstorm damage, with no definite reopening date fixed.
All trains are local (all-stations) services, with approximately eight to nine trains in each direction per day. Only three round-trips operate over the entire line, and some seasonal trains operate through onto the line from the Ban'etsu West and Jōetsu lines.
Due to the many curves on the line trains take over four hours to traverse its 135.2 km length.
The Aizu-Wakamatsu - Aizu-Yanaizu section opened between 1926 and 1928. The line was extended to Aizu-Miyashita in 1941.

The 311 tsunami in Japan in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture. Notes: Notice at 00:24 the water rising in the sewers - the tsunami's pressing the underground water to the surface. And then, at 03:15 an entire house is moving - even when the tsunami's only half a metre high!
3,000 lives were lost in this city when the 2011 tsunami reached its shores.
The 311 tsunami at Naraha in Fukushima Prefecture. Notes: It's now inside the 20km Fukushima Daiichi Exclusion Zone. To the right of the industrial structure at the horizon lies J-Village, the base of operations for the Fukushima cleanup. Fukushima Daini and Daiichi are behind the cameraman.
This is a time lapse of the tsunami in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. This was taken at Onahama port, in Iwaki. The damage wasn't as bad here, because of how far the tsunami had traveled from its original location.

Fukushima Prefecture in Northeast Japan is about the size of Connecticut. 5 years after the tsunami and nuclear disaster, the explosions, the multiple meltdowns of the nuclear cores of units 1-3, the Prefecture is experiencing recurring radioactive recontamination. Only 2% of its land has been declared 'clean' by Japanese government, but at a level it has raised 20X higher than normal background radiation. The dust on the newly epoxyed roof of the townhall in Minamisoma tested at 300,000 becquerels of cesium per kilogram - an "astronomical" level. 1 Becquerel (bq) equals one atomic disintegration per second. Fukushima refugees returning to the contaminated areas have to breathe this dust! Radioactive 'hot spots' exist all over Japan. A house in Tokyo tested 125 millirems per hour of radiat...

Thirty years after the worst nuclear accident in history, Chernobyl has become a tourist attraction. Tens of thousands of people are believed to have died prematurely from the catastrophe which spread a radioactive cloud over Europe in 1986, but last year 17,000 people visited the so-called exclusion zone anyway. VICE News sent Simon Ostrovsky to Chernobyl to find out just how safe it is to go there.
