Loud noises were heard at Fukushima Daiichi 2 this morning and a major component beneath the reactor may be damaged. Evacuation to 20 kilometres is being completed, while radiation levels decrease from a high in the morning. Concern is growing over the status of fuel cooling ponds at units 4, 5 and 6.

Nuclear power plants were barely affected by the Sanriku offshore earthquake that rocked Japan on 9 March at 11.45am. The earthquake measured 7.3 on the Richter scale and originated 160 kilometres offshore, some 8 kilometres underground. A tsunami warning was issued but in the end waves reached only 60cm high. Nuclear power plants on the Pacific coast that felt the quake include Onagawa, Higashidori and Fukushima Daini and Fukushima Daiichi. All the reactors at those plants operated as normal through the earthquake apart from two units that were already shut down for inspection. Diesel generators started automatically at Onagawa 2 on detection of the earthquake. Inspections at all the power plants found nothing unusual and operation continues.
