While searching to find out what happened in Fukoshima, Japan in 2011, I used the Iceberg method of research to come across this wiki link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster#Units_1,_2,_and_3. This is a notable source because of the scholars who confirmed the factual evidence in the article. Over 1000 people died due to radiation in Japan. In 2011, an earthquake hit Japan and not long following a tsunami hit it as well. Due to the tsunami hitting, 3 nuclear reactors cooled, causing a nuclear accident. I learned all of this information due to 3 sources I found via the iceberg method. The first source I previously stated, the second I found off of a link on CNN’s website, http://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-profiles/countries-g-n/japan-nuclear-power.aspx. The last of these sources I found through a couple clicks on BBC’s website. I originally found an article about the disaster but by clicking a link at the bottom of that article and then doing it again with the next article. I discovered that Xenon, in specific, was the chemical exposed to the public. The articles URL is https://www.bbc.com/news/15550270.
