The potential Nankai megathrust earthquake would cause 220 trillion yen damage and 5 million evacuees

On 3/18/2013, the council for the potential Nankai megathrust earthquake announced in case of M9.1 class of the earthquake offshore South West offshore Japan, the economical damage would be 220.3 trillion yen and 323,000 people would die, 2,382,000 buildings would be destroyed. This is 42% of the whole GDP, 10 times worse than 311.
It is not explained if this assumption includes the damage of the potential nuclear accident in Hamaoka (188.7km from Tokyo) etc..

The Nankai megathrust earthquake… (from Wikipedia)

“The Nankai megathrust earthquakes are great earthquakes that occur along the fault that forms the plate interface between the subducting Philippine Sea Plate and the overriding Amurian Plate (part of the Eurasian Plate), which dips beneath southwestern Honshu, Japan. All of these great earthquakes have given rise to damaging tsunami.”

The council stated even if they take fire prevention measures and improve earthquake-resistant, the economical damage would be still 118 trillion yen.
They assume it may happen only less than once a thousand years but it could be tomorrow.

Le probable méga-séisme de Nankai va coûter 220 milliards de yens de dégâts et faire 5 millions d’évacués

 

Le 18 mars 2013, le conseil sur le méga-séisme de Nankai a annoncé qu’en cas de séisme de classe M9,1 au large du Sud-Ouest du Japon, Les dégâts économiques s’élèveraient à 220,3 milliards de yens, 323 000 gens seraient tués et 2 382 000 bâtiments seraient détruits. Ça représente 42% de tout le GDP, 10 fois pire que le 11-3.
Il n’est pas précisé si cette affirmation inclus les dégâts du probable accident nucléaire à Hamaoka (188,7 km de Tokyo), etc..

Les séismes méga-tectoniques de  Nankai … (selon Wikipedia) :

“Les grands séismes méga-tectoniques de Nankai sont de violents séismes qui surviennent le long de la faille qui sert d’interface entre les plaques de la mer des Philippines qui est en subduction et la plaque amurienne (partie de la plaque Eurasiatique) qui la recouvre et qui plongent sous le Sud-Ouest japonais de Honshu, Japon. Tous ces grands séismes ont toujours donné lieu à de puissants tsunamis dévastateurs.”

Le conseil affirme que même s’ils prennent des mesures de prévention contre les incendies et améliorent la résistance aux séismes, les dégâts économiques restent toujours à 118 milliards de yens.
Ils affirment que ça ne peut arriver que moins d’une fois tous les 1000 ans mais c’est peut-être pour demain.

About this site

This website updates the latest news about the Fukushima nuclear plant and also archives the past news from 2011. Because it's always updated and added live, articles, categories and the tags are not necessarily fitted in the latest format.
I am the writer of this website. About page remains in 2014. This is because my memory about 311 was clearer than now, 2023, and I think it can have a historical value. Now I'm living in Romania with 3 cats as an independent data scientist.
Actually, nothing has progressed in the plant since 2011. We still don't even know what is going on inside. They must keep cooling the crippled reactors by water, but additionally groundwater keeps flowing into the reactor buildings from the broken parts. This is why highly contaminated water is always produced more than it can circulate. Tepco is planning to officially discharge this water to the Pacific but Tritium is still remaining in it. They dilute this with seawater so that it is legally safe, but scientifically the same amount of radioactive tritium is contained. They say it is safe to discharge, but none of them have drunk it.
