引言A magnitude 9.0 quake just broke out on
11 March this year at northeast Japan. The subsequent tsunami destroyed the coastal cities and caused severe casualties. Various countries have deployed rescue teams to Japan to help with the disaster relief.
The quake also led to a serious radioactive leak and several nuclear power reactors exploded. The radioactive materials released spread to neighboring regions and caused damage to people’s health and the environment. Many countries are cooperating to handle the aftermath of the disaster and try to deal with the nuclear crisis as quickly as possible.
