Fukushima – It has now been more than a decade since the devastating Fukushima Daiichi disaster, the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl. A devastating 9.0 earthquake off the coast of Japan and the subsequent tsunami flooded reactors and cut off the power at the station, resulting in several core meltdowns and the contamination and evacuation of a large surrounding area.

This new BBC World Service drama explores how the catastrophe unfolded, but also the people who stopped the crisis becoming far worse. New episodes are out every single week.
