On March 11, 2011, fifty minutes after a magnitude 9.0 earthquake
hit eastern Japan, a tsunami 45-feet high engulfed the nuclear
power plant known as Fukushima Daiichi, knocking out electrical
power and all the reactors' safety systems. Three reactor cores
experienced meltdowns in the first three days, leading to an
unimaginable nuclear disaster. The person the Tokyo Electric Power
Company called for help was Dr. Chuck Casto. In Station Blackout,
Chuck Casto, the foremost authority on responding to nuclear
disasters, shares his first-hand account of how he led the
collaborative team of Japanese and American experts that faced the
challenges of Fukushima. A lifetime of working in the nuclear
industry prepared him to manage an extreme crisis, lessons that
apply to any crisis situation.
