The thing is they shut down their nuclear fleet after that and this island, Kyushu, was the first place they just reopened, tentatively a new reactor. A NEW REACTOR in Japan! On a seismically-active chain of active volcanos! Where there is PLENTY of near surface or surface steam to harness instead of nuclear steam to run the same goddamned turbines!! And, God said "for their arrogance let there be another earthquake!" And so it happened precisely at ground zero for the new nuclear plant. The irony is that fucking plant probably had to clear out some geothermal vents in order to get built, or sits within a mile or less from a half dozen of them.One would have thought that Japan, of all places in the world, would have had its head on straight about what can happen as a result of radiation.
That was my first thought when Fukushima went down too.
If Japan had had a mother and a father, it would never be engaging in all this earthquake activityHow many pages until Sil finds a way to blame homos?

The new reactors at Kyushu that sat at the epicenter of the very violent quake yesterday... Note the nice low elevation right in the path of a tsunami at the Ocean's edge. Japan has learned NOTHING.
Just happened a few minutes ago. 7.1 is pretty heavy duty
Breaking news on Strong earthquake in Japan, April 16, 2016
Thanks for that update. Hope there aren't any nuclear plants near you there.I think we're going through some heavy activity lately, it's been rocking and rolling up here - even the faults near my house that haven't really produced much more than 1's and 2's have been dropping 4's and 5's on us since January.

Those bastards killed Kenny!!!!!And damn the frackers!Damn global warming
The epicenter of the earthquake was 75 miles from the Sendai Nuclear Power Plant, and the plant has suffered no damage.

April 14, 2016 TOKYO — A powerful earthquake struck the southwestern Japanese island of Kyushu on Thursday, killing nine people, collapsing roads and buildings, and knocking out power, officials said.
According to the government, some 1,000 people had been treated for injuries caused by the magnitude 6.2 quake, which struck just before 9:30 p.m. and was followed by a series of powerful aftershocks.
It's almost like the Spirit is trying to tell Japan and the world something....The one place they dared to open up a new reactor after Fukushima...Kyushu Island.. The nuclear power option is dead. Active volcanism exists everywhere in Japan, even Kyushu, and because of this instability and also resource of geothermal steam powered turbines (instead of nuclear steam powered turbines) the UN should step in and make the construction or operation of nuclear power plants around active faults or volcanism illegal.
The West Coast of the US has had its fishing decimated. Fish are showing up radioactive from Alaska to Mexico from the effluent Tepco has to keep pumping into the ocean at Fukushima, forever. We are on the brink folks. This may be our last wakeup call. Or it may be too late already..

(CNN)Japan has restarted its second nuclear reactor since the Fukushima disaster in 2011 shut down the country's nuclear energy program.
The Kyushu Electric Power Company told CNN that it restarted the Dai-ni reactor at Sendai Nuclear Power Plant....The plant, in the country's southern Kagoshima prefecture, on the southern island of Kyushu, also hosts the only other reactor to have been restarted since the disaster, which saw much of Fukushima prefecture, north of the capital, Tokyo, evacuated in 2011.

As of June 2015, the radiation in the Pacific Ocean reached the US West Coast; the seafood you’ve been eating from the Pacific ocean is loaded with Cesium-137 and Strontium-90....The radiation in the fish is so terrible that wild-caught Alaskan Salmon, Pacific Herring, and Canadian whitefish are being found bloody, with cancerous tumors throughout their bodies....300 tons of this radioactive water has been seeping into the Pacific Ocean EVERY DAY since March 15, 2011. Nothing has stopped it, and the flow continues to this very day, October 31, 2015. We’re Eating Fukushima Radiation; Bloody Cancerous Tumors in Fish & Seafood - DavidWolfe.com

Japan’s Meteorological Agency claimed that the quake registered the highest rating of 7 on its earthquake intensity scale but no tsunami warning had been issued. The epicenter of the quake was 120 kms northeast of the country’s only operating plant - the Sendai nuclear plant. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) put the quake’s preliminary magnitude at 6.2 and said it was 23 kms deep. Several reports of destruction emerged from the region, specifically from the town of Mashiki in Kumamoto Prefecture. Local authorities told the media that over 20 houses had collapsed in the town, leaving several people trapped under debris. Reports of several fires breaking out in the town too emerged. Kumamoto City health officials said that over 100 people were being treated for injuries at three hospitals across the city.
Further, areas around Kumamoto too recorded severe jolts ranging between 3 and lower 5 on the Japanese scale. The agency said that the area also witnessed a number of shallow aftershocks, including one of a preliminary magnitude 6.4, one measuring upper 6 and another with a magnitude of 5.7 on the Japanese seismic scale. The agency reported that the earthquake is believed to have struck at a depth of 10 km. It also pointed out that the Kumamoto quake is the first ‘intensity 7’ quake, since the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, that wreaked havoc in the Tohoku region.
Followed by the quake and reports of destruction, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reportedly set up an emergency headquarters in Tokyo and instructed relevant authorities to gather information. Neither the Kyushu Electric Power Company’s Sendai nuclear plant in Kagoshima Prefecture nor the Shikoku Electric Power Company’s Ikata nuclear plant have reported any abnormalities. The companies are further probing into any possible damage from the quake.
Confirming that there were no abnormalities at the nearby nuclear facilities, Japan’s top spokesperson and Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga addressed an urgent press conference. He said at least 19 buildings and some houses had collapsed near the epicentre of the quake and that authorities were working hard to draw up a complete assessment of the incident. He said that the government had prioritised rescue operations post the quake. Japan’s public broadcaster NHK said at least three people were killed in the quake, however there were no further reports on the casualties.
Japan struck by strongest earthquake since 2011 Kumamoto area affected
The authority released estimates of nine deaths following the earthquake that was initially measured as 6.4 but was later revised by the U.S. Geological Survey as measuring 6.2. The quake jolted Kumamoto Prefecture in Japan’s Kyushu island and was said to be the strongest earthquake to strike the region since 2011. The Kumamoto Prefecture office said that two deaths occurred in Mashiki, one person died in a collapsed house, and the other died in a fire caused by the quake.
Authorities added that nearly 860 people were injured with about 50 severely hurt, adding that about 44,449 people had been evacuated from the region. Officials said that rescue crews continued to look for people trapped under collapsed buildings after the strong quake and dozens of smaller aftershocks that followed. While several buildings are said to have collapsed, others caught fire and the tremors triggered landslides, tearing up roads and even derailing a bullet train, a CNN report said. Addressing the parliament, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that he had mobilised 3,000 members of Japan’s Self Defense Force, police and fire service to join the rescue effort overnight. The cabinet secretary, Yoshihide Suga is said to have visited the affected area.
Abe added that the government is “racing against the clock and will provide more personnel if necessary.” Japanese Meteorological experts have warned of more aftershocks, however a tsunami has been ruled out as the quake is said to be centered mostly under land, not an ocean. John Bellini of the U.S. Geological Survey said in a report, “When you have a shallow earthquake, such as this one is, you have the potential for more damage because the shaking is close to the surface.”
The quake is said to have been experienced by about 750,000 people and about 16,500 households lost electricity, while 38,000 homes had no gas supplies. Japan is said to be one of the most seismically active countries in the world. The country experienced a massive undersea quake in March 2011, that led to a devastating tsunami. About 18,500 people were estimated to have died in the disaster and several nuclear reactors went into meltdown at the Fukushima plant in the worst atomic accident in a generation.
