Everyone knows the accident at the Japanese nuclear power plant “Fukushima”, which happened almost 12 years ago. It was caused by the strongest earthquake ever recorded in Japan.
Today, the exclusion zone created around the station is already smaller in area, but still lifeless and literally littered with cars left behind during the evacuation.
The YouTube channel Exploring the Unbeaten Path made a video about abandoned cars in the Fukushima Exclusion Zone.
In some areas, vehicles have been moved to storage areas for possible further processing. But she never was. In other areas, cars were simply left behind. Now they are overgrown with grass. Some cars were washed into the fields by a powerful tsunami that hit the island after an earthquake in the open sea.
Kei cars, sedans, trucks and many other vehicles are literally everywhere. But suddenly the authors of the video stumble upon an old Datsun racing car. A radiation check showed that the car was phonite – 0.45 microsievert. This isn’t much above the norm, but still too much to bring a sports car back to life.
If a car can be dried and repaired after flooding, then radiation puts a luminous cross on cars. All the cars you see will never drive again.
