The earthquake that caused the accidents was on Friday, March 11, 2011, at 14:46 JST. The first tsunamis from the earthquake hit the Fukushima Daiichi plant about 40 minutes later, and were followed by the tsunami that overwhelmed the plant about 20 minutes after that.
The earthquake and tsunamis were just the start of a series of accidents that unfolded in time. There is a link below to a timeline for these events.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster occurred in Japan, specifically in the Fukushima Prefecture. On March 11, 2011, a powerful earthquake and tsunami led to a series of equipment failures, nuclear meltdowns, and releases of radioactive materials at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
The Fukushima event occurred on March 11, 2011, when a magnitude 9.0 earthquake triggered a tsunami that led to a meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan.
Takumi Nemoto is the Minister in Charge of Comprehensive Policy Coordination for Revival From the Nuclear Accident at Fukushima for Japan.
Fukushima is the name of a prefecture on Honshu Island, the largest island of Japan. It is also the name of a city in the prefecture. Fukushima became well known to many people because of a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, which is in Fukushima Prefecture.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan experienced a severe nuclear accident on March 11, 2011, following a powerful earthquake and tsunami. The event led to hydrogen explosions in multiple reactor buildings, releasing radioactive materials. The cleanup and decommissioning process at the plant is ongoing and is expected to take several decades to complete.
Fukushima Daiichi, on March 11, 2011.
The Fukushima nuclear accident occurred on March 11, 2011, when a massive earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, leading to a meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is located in the town of Okuma, in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. Its absolute location is approximately 37.4214° N latitude and 141.0323° E longitude.

Those reactions that take place in functioning nuclear reactors (i.e not Chernobyl or Fukushima when the accidents happened).
I think the Chernobyl accidence happened immediately, but Fukushima happened take I think 2 days
