The Kyodo News Agency reported that water overflowed from units 5 and 6 of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant due to a 7.3 earthquake that occurred on the night of the 13th.
Tokyo Electric Power Corp. explained that due to the shaking of the earthquake, water overflowed from the spent fuel tanks at the top of each nuclear reactor building of Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant Units 5 and 6, and it has not been confirmed to have leaked outside the building.
The Japan Atomic Energy Regulatory Commission said that as of 1:30 am today, there is no change in the radiation measurements of each facility, such as nuclear power plants located in areas with strong vibrations, including the Fukushima No. 1 and No. 2 nuclear power plants, and the spent fuel reprocessing plant, and the leakage of radioactive materials. Said it was not confirmed.
Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant Units 5 and 6 were supplied with emergency power during the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, and the cooling system function was maintained, thus avoiding the worst accidents, and they were closed in January 2014.
