I le kuata i le 3 i le aoauli o le Aso 11 o Mati 2011, na to ai se mafui'e na fuaina i le 9 le malosi i le fua mafui'e i le gataifale i Matu i Sasa'e o le motu o Honshu i Iapani.


Na atoa i le vaiaso nei le 15 tausaga talu ona oso le galu lolo, le sunami i Iapani.

I le kuata i le 3 i le aoauli o le Aso 11 o Mati 2011, na to ai se mafui'e na fuaina i le 9 le malosi i le fua mafui'e i le gataifale i Matu i Sasa'e o le motu o Honshu i Iapani.

Na soso'o ai ma ni sunami maualuluga na fa’aleagaina ai le tele o fale ma auala ma meatotino i nu’u tū matafaga o Iapani.

O galu lolo na oo i le 17 mita le maualuluga ma le saoasaoa e 800 kilomita i le itula.

E lata i le to'a 20,000 tagata na maliliu ai ma le faitau afe e le'i maua o latou tino.

O Akiko Stockton, e afua mai Fukushima, ae na aumau i Perth i le taimi na oso ai le sunami.

"When the earthquake and tsunami happened in 2011, I was live in Perth and a friend contacted me and said something terrible happened in Fukushima, so I rushed home and turned on the TV and the images I saw were so shocking that I could hardly believe they were real. I felt like I was watching a movie, rather than reality."

O le malolosi o galu o le sunami na faatama'ia ai afi o le nofoaga i Fukushima e gaosi ai le ‘eletise mai le malosi niukilia.

O le otaota niukilia le radiation na liki mai nofoaga le Fukushima Nuclear Plant, ma na 'umi se taimi e le'i mafaia ai ona taofia.

Na iai popolega i le liki o le otaota niukilia ma a’afia ai tagata o Fukushima e pei ona sa molimauina i le fa’alavelave niukilia i Chernobyl i Ukraine i le 1986.

E lata i le to'a 160,000 tagatanuu o Fukushima na fa’amalosia ona tu’ua o latou fale ma aiga ina ua tupu le fa’alavelave i le nofoaga e gaosi ai le 'eletise mai le malosi niukilia.

Na saunoa Dr Trevor Findlay o le University of Melbourne, mo nisi o tagata i Iapani, o le tupu mai o le fa’alavelave lenei e toe manatua ai le osofa'iga i pomu na matuā fa’aleagaina ai Hiroshima ma Nagasaki i le taua lona 2 o le lalolagi.

 "I think what many people feel is that it didn't take into account the psychological impact of, I think it was a hundred thousand people being moved out of the way subsequent to the Fukushima accident. So that has an enormous impact. And in a country like Japan, which experienced the first nuclear weapon detonations, that impact is obviously redoubled because there's been, despite the extent of nuclear power generation in Japan, a nuclear phobia amongst the general population."

Na saunoa fo’i But Dr Findlay i le tulaga lamatia o le ono tupu mai o se faalavelave niukilia i Iran pe a faaleagaina le nofoaga o loo gaosi ai le 'eletise mai le niukilia i le osofa'iga o faia nei a Amerika ma Isaraelu.

 "In the case of Iran, it's a peaceful nuclear reactor that they used to generate electricity. They don't have nuclear weapons yet. They have stockpiles of highly enriched uranium, which is nuclear material. So you certainly don't want to bomb that and have that being pushed into the atmosphere. The reactor is, in some senses, even more dangerous, so it could produce a Chernobyl effect if attacked."
