An image from the U.S. Geological Survey shows the approximate location of the earthquake.Developing:
A strong earthquake has struck Japan's coast south of the Fukushima nuclear plant currently undergoing a dangerous removal of highly radioactive Unit 4 fuel rods, according to online reports.
The U.S. Geological Survey reports that a 5.7 magnitude earthquake has struck Japan 25 kilometers southeast of Toba, releasing the following tweet:Strong earthquake, NEAR S. COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN, Nov-18 19:10 UTC, 0 #quake tweets/min, http://t.co/jAAXkTfU5kReports of the earthquake are still emerging. The following Twitter feed has news and updates.
Hmmm....that's moderately large.....likely not large enough to cause a major problem unless these are foreshocks of a larger earthquake...however, they show how seismically active Japan is [if memory serves, last major quake was only a month ago!] and the dangers at hand.....
It will take a few years to remove these fuel rods and about 30-40 years to 'clean up' [bury] the entire site.....even then, a large earthquake could un-bury it and cause catastrophic damage, worldwide. There is NO good solution - only less bad ones. Nuclear Energy was always a bad idea and getting worse by the day....as these reactors [damaged or not] age, they become more and more dangerous...they are dangerous at 'conception'. 'Ya likely 'ain't seen nothing yet, sadly......
