The Fukushima disaster was caused by a fault in the cooling systems at Fukushima nuclear powerplant following the Tohoku quake and tsunami in 2011. This event has had devastating effects on the landscape and pollution of Japan for generations to come. The disaster was later marked one of the worst nuclear disasters in history among Chernobyl and the Three Miles Island nuclear disasters.

This exhibition has been designed to be an engaging experience to teach all ages about the dangers of tsunamis and the consequences of the nuclear disaster within the context of Japan and the explosion and subsequent melt down of the Daichi power plant.

At the entrance to the exhibition I have used an 8 foot tall water feature that provides guests with a perspective on the size of the water that hit the shores of Japan during the Tohoku tsunami and allowing them to reflect on the feeling of being surrounding by water.

In this exhibition I utilised interactive projection mapping technology in combination with shaking floors to create an immersive experience that allows guest to experience the strengths of seismic activity allowing them to understand.

The final section of the exhibition features Shidare Yoshion a species of small flowering Japanese cherry trees. This area serves as a space for guests to reflect on the events leading up to and following the Fukushima nuclear disaster
