#Earthquake, #Tsunami Hit #Japan #NewYearsDay

Editor, #SimplyInfo, January 1, 2024

"A significant earthquake has hit the west coast of #Japan. NHK reports the quake as a 7.6 earthquake (highest on Shindo scale) with an epicenter in Ishikawa Prefecture.

"This put the quake right near the largest concentration of #NuclearPowerPlants in Japan. While most are offline due to the 2011 disaster and improved nuclear oversight regulations, some were #operational. NHK reported that the #ShikaNuclearPlant lost a transformer for incoming AC power and an oil line for a back up generator. Japan’s NRA reported no radiation increases were detected around nuclear plants in the region hit."

One day, there's faults. The next day, no faults! How does that happen? Why #CoverUps of course!

"Possible two active faults situated under the [#Shika / #Shiga] reactors

"On 16 July 2012 research done by the Japanese government revealed the strong possibility that the S-1-fault beneath the power station might be active, raising doubts about the claim made by the company in 1997 that it is inactive. It is not allowed to build a nuclear reactor above an active quake fault. If these findings would be confirmed, the Shika power station could be labeled as sitting on premises ineligible for a nuclear power plant. The fault, which runs southeast to northwest within the premises—moved sometime after 130,000 to 120,000 years ago.

"A review of old excavation data did suggest the strong possibility, that S-1 could have been active in a relatively recent period. Considering the presence of another fault that lies beneath the No. 2 reactor, should the two faults move at the same time, it could put the power plant into danger.

"A Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) draft report of March 2016 confirmed that the fault below unit 1 is likely to be active, and that two faults below unit 2 were possibly active.

"In 2023 however, the NRA finally agreed with Hokuriku Electric [#HEPCO] that no active faults exist under the plant. (!!!)

"In the 2024 Sea of Japan earthquake, it was reported that an explosion occurred on the site with a reactor being rendered inoperable after an oil spill."
