Fukushima: discharge of water from the power plant into the sea suspended after a nearby earthquake. The nuclear plant operator says no radiation leaks were detected this Friday.
Located on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, the Fukushima Daiichi power plant was devastated in 2011 by a gigantic tsunami caused by a 9.0 magnitude underwater earthquake. Japan, located on the borders of tectonic plates, regularly experiences earthquakes, the last of which on January 1, 2024 caused the death of dozens of people.
