“Ghost hogs” are running wild near the Fukushima nuclear plant. Their genes show an evolution that has jumped several generations because the wild boars mated with the domestic pigs. The finding shows how a world without humans fast forwards evolution.

The nuclear hogs of Fukushima have skipped generational evolution. Here's why

Under the Fukushima Nuclear Power Station in Japan, something strange has been observed. The waters here are highly radioactive and so not suitable for any form of life. But scientists have observed an organism thriving in the nuclear environment.  

No superpowers, yet something is thriving in Fukushima's radioactive water. How?

Nuclear safety standards have been ramped up after Fukushima. At Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, 15-metre-high (49-foot) seawalls have been built to guard against large tsunamis; watertight doors now protect critical equipment at the facility.

Japan restarts world’s largest nuclear plant, 15 years after shutting down all reactors

A tsunami triggered by the 2011 earthquake of magnitude 9 caused reactor meltdowns at Fukushima Daiichi, leading to a level-7 nuclear disaster. While no radiation deaths were recorded, mass evacuations followed, with over 2,300 disaster-related deaths among displaced residents.

New Zealand has expressed confidence in the advice of the United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), regarding Japan's plan to release treated water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the Pacific Ocean.

New Zealand backs UN nuclear watchdog's approval of Fukushima water release

On Tuesday (July 4), the International Atomic Energy Agency approved Japan's plans to release treated radioactive water into the sea from its defunct nuclear reactor in Fukushima.

Explained: Japan gets OK to release Fukushima radioactive water. What's the row about?

South Korea's climate activists have taken to the streets against Japan's plans to discharge the Fukushima's radioactive waters into the sea. The backlash comes after last month the country's nuclear regulation authority gave an initial approval to Tokyo electric power to discharge water from the Fukushima plant starting next year
