Enterprises suspend operations and production! A 7.3-magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of Fukushima, Japan

According to foreign media reports, on the evening of February 13, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake occurred off the east coast of Honshu, Japan . The next day , the Japan Meteorological Agency revised the magnitude of the earthquake in Miyagi Prefecture and Fukushima Prefecture from 7.1 to 7.3 .

As of the 17th, the earthquake caused a certain number of injuries and damage to roads and buildings. Coupled with the impact of the subsequent storm, a total of 160 people were injured in the two counties, 2,322 houses were damaged, and 950,000 households in Japan's Tohoku and Kanto regions lost power .

Although no deaths were reported in the earthquake and people's daily lives have basically returned to normal, since many factories and production bases are concentrated in Fukushima Prefecture and Miyagi Prefecture, the epicenters of the earthquake, industries such as automobiles and semiconductors have all experienced suspension of production.

After nearly 10 years, a large-scale earthquake occurred again in Fukushima, Japan, which has attracted widespread attention from the international community. There have been only two level 7 nuclear accidents in human history, and the Fukushima nuclear accident is one of them.

It is reported that after the earthquake, TEPCO immediately conducted radioactive material testing on the Fukushima nuclear power plant and found a small amount of nuclear leakage at the second nuclear power plant.

Today, the melted core in the Fukushima nuclear power plant is still producing nuclear waste water at a rate of several tons per day, and millions of tons of nuclear waste water are stored in the nuclear power plant .

Although the Fukushima nuclear power plant has stopped operating after the "3.11" earthquake, its safety hazards still exist. If they are not thoroughly resolved, they are likely to cause subsequent nuclear accidents , which can easily lead to a recurrence of the "3.11" Fukushima nuclear accident and pose a threat to the life and health of all mankind.

Japan has basically survived the two recent earthquakes safely, but the Earthquake Investigation Committee of Japan held a press conference on the 15th and announced that the magnitude 7.3 earthquake that occurred off the coast of Fukushima on the evening of the 13th was an aftershock of the 2011 "3.11" earthquake, and such aftershocks may occur again in the next 10 years.

In addition, the Japanese government calls on the public to pay more attention to official earthquake alerts and tsunami warnings, and at the same time understand and master relevant emergency self-rescue knowledge, and continue to take personal protection and strengthen safety precautions during the evacuation period.
