Scenarios about 'Tokaimura'
A Japanese city in Ibaraki Prefecture that became internationally known after a severe nuclear accident at a uranium processing facility in 1999. The Tokaimura criticality incident resulted from improper handling of uranium, exposing workers to lethal radiation doses and requiring local evacuations. In alternate history scenarios, Tokaimura often represents turning points in nuclear energy policies or serves as a catalyst for different technological or regulatory paths in atomic power development.
