Japan’s Nuclear Authorities has faulted speculations from some quarters that recent earthquake will trigger tsunami mostly within the Sea or costal area.
Few days ago, Japan experienced a hit of 7.6 magnitude earthquake which has caused several homes to collapse, roads ripped up and scores counted.
Experts have therefore warned thousands of people living within the affected zones and the sea areas to evacuate for safety reasons but Japan’s Nuclear Authorities have not said so.
Recall that the powerful quake ripped up roads and triggered tsunami warning for coastal areas as reported.
It is a clear warning to thousands of people living within the coastal areas of Japan spending nights in evacuation centers to vacate immediately after being told to head to higher grounds because of the triggered tsunami warnings.
Dozens os smaller earthquakes have struck central Japan since about 16:00 local time (07:00GMT) Monday , with more expected to follow.
Tsunami waves , some more than a metre high have reached the coast in Ishikawa prefecture but they are smaller than the 5m-high (16ft) waves that authorities had warned of.
No irregularities have been reported from nuclear power plants along the Sea of Japan at the time of this report by 9News Nigeria.
The country’s Nuclear Regulation Authority has said that no irregularities has occurred along the or within the Sea of Japan till date.
Meanwhile, a Major tsunami alert , the first in Japan since the 2011 earthquake, issued for the Noto area has now been downgraded, authorities hinted.
The European Union EU stands in full solidarity with Japan. “Our thoughts are with the victims, their families and all those affected by the earthquake and yesterday’s related tragic plane collision.
We are ready to offer any support needed at this time of need, says United Nations.
