The combined total of confirmed deaths and missing is more than 22,000

Other Facts:
At the time of the earthquake, Japan had 54 nuclear reactors, with two
under construction, and 17 power plants, that produced about 30% of
Japan's electricity (IAEA 2011).
Material damage from the earthquake and tsunami is estimated at about
25 trillion yen ($300 billion).
There are six reactors at Tokyo Electric Power Company's Fukushima
Daiichi plant, located about 65 km (40 miles) south of Sendai.
A microsievert (mSv) is an internationally recognized unit measuring
radiation dosage. People are typically exposed to a total of about 1,000
microsieverts in one year.
The Japanese government estimated that the tsunami swept about five
million tons of debris offshore, but that 70% sank, leaving 1.5 million tons
floating in the Pacific Ocean. The debris was not considered to be
radioactive.
