#48 - The Tokaimura Nuclear Incident

Content Warning: Medical Stuff

The Tokaimura Nuclear Powerplant has provided energy to Japan's power grid since the 60s. It wasn't until the 90s, however, that it suffered two notable nuclear incidents, the second of which led to one of the most prolonged and painful deaths of modern times.
