Magnitude 7.3 earthquake hits Japan, close to site of Fukushima nuclear disaster

일본 정부 "후쿠시마•오나가와 원전 이상 없다"

A powerful 7-point-3 earthquake struck Japan over the weekend,
Concerns mounted as it hit the coast of Japan's Fukushima prefecture, home to one of the world's worst nuclear disasters almost a decade ago.
For more on this and other news around the world, we have Choi Jeong-yoon at the news center.
Jeong-yoon, can you update us on the damage and how the situation is unfolding?
Mokyeon, so far, some 9 prefectures were impacted by Saturday's earthquake, with at least 150 people injured.
However, no deaths were reported related to the disaster.
But, it did leave some 850-thousand households without power and recorded 14 aftershocks.
The earthquake also struck close to the site of 2011's Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga reassured that everything is 'normal',... and that there have been no anomalies reported from any nuclear facilities.
The earthquake comes less than a month ahead of the 10-year anniversary of the disaster caused by an earthquake and tsunami.
That record-breaking 9-point-O magnitude earthquake led to a meltdown at three nuclear units of Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant and left about 19-thousand people dead or missing.
Authorities are still assessing the number of injuries and damage following Saturday's earthquake.
Highways and roads that were blocked and closed supermarkets and businesses are slowly beginning to reopen.
The PM urged officials to put full effort into recovery from the disaster, while advising people to stay home and be prepared for aftershocks for at least seven days.

Nuclear waste from damaged plants is not being talked about from Japan's leaders. It is hush up and don' t talk.

[kechikexplore]

the 2011 tsunami in Japan in my memory will never be forgotten

[ZooxMaze]

This report doesn't mention that the "7.3" earthquake is measured on a different Japanese scale, now-a-days, than the rest of the world...
It's actual reading is 9.24, which is a little higher than the one which triggered Fukushima, in 2011

[maverick]

Yea... what they are NOT telling everyone is that it was an upper 6 on Japan’s earthquake scale of 7 being the maximum. meaning it was a 9.2 = very strong!!

[melelconquistador]

So is the area near the reactor quake prone? If so why did they build the reactor there? I hope it was not for insurance reasons.
I have been studying data and maps. See there has indeed been many quakes on the east side of Honshu. Just looking at a topographical or satellite map of Japan shows there is a fault line with the Pacific plate in the sea east of Japan. Was this known before the erection of the plant?

[verebellus]

idk why but I'm impressed by this english (don't ask)

[animefellow]
