Abandoned hospital in Futaba, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. This hospital lies within the 20 kilometre exclusion zone put in place after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. The disaster, on 11th March 2011, was triggered after a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred 130 kilometres off the east coast of Japan causing a devastating tsunami. The tsunami damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, leading to the meltdown of three of the nuclear reactors and a leak of radioactive material. It was one of the world's largest nuclear incidents since the Chernobyl disaster of April 1986. Clean-up operations began in Futaba in 2017 with the aim of making it habitable by 2022.
