In 2011, the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan was hit by a tsunami after the country’s largest recorded earthquake. Remarkably, no one died directly from the incident. Several years later, the government announced that one man died from lung cancer which might be linked to the disaster. Overall, that is quite remarkable: a nuclear power plant was hit by a tsunami and there was only one possible death. However, the government does attribute around 2,700 premature deaths to the stress and disruption of evacuation from Fukushima in the years that followed.
