According to the information from the Tohoku Electric Power Company in Japan, the Higashidori Nuclear Power Plant in Higashidori Village, Aomori Prefecture, which has been in long-term shutdown status, observed shaking at a "4 on the seismic scale" after a 6.7 magnitude earthquake occurred in the sea area east of Aomori Prefecture this morning. However, it was stated that "no abnormality has been confirmed" and the monitoring values for radiation levels around the nuclear power plant have not changed. The Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant in Miyagi Prefecture also "has not found any abnormalities" as of now, and the monitoring values for radiation levels around the plant have not changed either. Japan issued a second tsunami warning this week in light of the earthquake.
