8.4-9 Magnitude Quake Hits Japan!

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Am quite interested this now and will have to go google how radioactive decay heat is removed during a "normal" reactor shutdown.

Apparently normal reactor shutdown takes a couple of weeks for cooling. I think one of them was in the process of being shutdown before the tsunami.

I don't think we've seen the tail end of JP earthquakes... a 6.4M hit Sendai a couple of days ago.

Registered with UGS equivalent in JP and there are more eq activities in Northern JP.

Spoke to a good friend of mine that had geology interest, said that the tectonic plates are due for another major shift (the earth changing ones)

Really worried that I won't be able to visit that beautiful country.

It's officially up to a Level 7 disaster.

When are you planning to go to Japan? With all the quakes around tokyo eventually the buildings must start showing some structual damage - even with the earthquake strengthening and their 'rubber feet'.
