▫ According to a recent study published earlier this month in the journal Plants, the trees surrounding the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant behave strangely.
▫ Researchers from many institutions in Italy and Brazil analysed fir trees that grew near the facility, devastated in 2011 by a violent earthquake.
▫ A partial meltdown occurred at Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP) after an earthquake caused a tsunami that overwhelmed the plant’s cooling systems.
