A new tsunami warning...
| quote: | 宮城県沿岸に津波警報
7日午後11時32分ごろ、宮城県沖で強い地震があり、気象庁は午後11時34分に宮城県の沿岸に津波警報を出しました。予想される津波の高さは、高いところで1メートルに達する見込みです。場所によっては津波はさらに数倍の高さになることがあります。海岸や川の河口付近、海に近い川沿いにいる方は直ちに高いところへ避難してください。このほか青森県から茨城県にかけての太平洋沿岸には津波注意報が出ています。 |

7.4-magnitude earthquake strikes off coast of Miyagi, Japan, Japan's meteorological agency says.
Apparently this one lasted a couple minutes like the 9.0 and was kinda freaky.
1-2m Tsunami warning |

There were so many earthquake warnings in Japan I don't even know if this one is worth the attention any more (there were also two false tsunami alarms).
I hope this is yet another false alarm because I feel bad for the people at the coast of Miyagi already :( |

Yes, because the quake was a lot milder. |

The issue isn't with having nuclear power plants in areas prone to earthquakes and/or tsunamis. The issue is that the nuclear power plants that are currently there may not have the adequate preventative measures to keep another nuclear disaster like the most recent one from happening. There are many nuclear reactors around the world, especially more recent designs, which are virtually impossible to meltdown. They have safeguards so that even if there is a complete power loss in the facility, there is still no danger of a meltdown due to the countermeasures in place.
Anyone arguing against nuclear energy because of all this is very misinformed. |
