The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The direct cause was the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, which resulted in electrical grid failure and damaged nearly all of the power plant's backup energy sources.
- The subsequent inability to sufficiently cool reactors after shutdown compromised containment and resulted in the release of radioactive contaminants into the surrounding environment.
- It is regarded by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation as the worst nuclear incident since the Chernobyl disaster.
Why it is Legendary
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Fukushima nuclear accident article was read about 1,200,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 94 and blocks with 96: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
