For rendering need to include VRayall texture and map. On March 11, 2011 an earthquake of magnitude 9.0 MW struck at 14:46 Japan Standard Time (JST) off the northeast coast of Japan. Reactors 4, 5, and 6 had been shut down for planned maintenance prior to the earthquake. The remaining reactors automatically shut down after the earthquake, but a subsequent tsunami flooded the plant, knocking out emergency generators that cooled and controlled the reactors. The flooding and earthquake damage prevented assistance from elsewhere. Over the following days, evidence of partial nuclear meltdowns in reactors 1, 2, and 3 emerged; hydrogen explosions destroyed the upper cladding of the building housing reactors 1 and 3; an explosion damaged reactor 2's containment; and severe fires broke out at reactor 4. Japanese authorities rated the events at reactors 1, 2, and 3 as a level 5 (Accident With Wider Consequences) on the International Nuclear Event Scale, while the events at reactor 4 were placed at level 3 (Serious incident).
