There’s been another earthquake at Fukushima.  One report says 6.8, 6.9, and another says 7.3.  Aftershocks starting.  Both say tsunami warnings.  This is where we’ve had the worst nuclear disaster, meltdown, contamination, in history, and it’s now going to get worse.

From the Guardian, in Japanese:

Daniel Smith reports (UPDATE – cooling equipment back online):

Cooling equipment stopped in power plant 

According to NHK, cooling equipment for the spent nuclear fuel pool in the reactor No. 3 of Tepco’s Fukushima No. 2 power plant has stopped. But the water in the pool is currently enough to keep it cool, NHK reports.

The nuclear regulatory agency says that so far, the cooling water has not leaked out, and Tepco are preparing to resume operation of the cooling system within an hour or two.

The water supply has stopped, however, the nuclear regulatory agency says that so far no abnormalities have been observed.
