Japan faces string of shocks as agnitude-5.9 hits on Apr 17

News Article

AN aftershock has hit Japan just hours after the country's nuclear safety agency ordered plant operators to beef up their earthquake-preparedness systems.

There were no initial reports of damage from the magnitude-5.9 aftershock and there was no risk of a tsunami similar to the one last month that crippled the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant, causing Japan's worst-ever nuclear plant disaster.



Fukushima nuclear plan could be facing so much trouble while so many unpredicted aftershocks...

God bless Japan..

why doesn't the usgs.gov website have this 5.9 listed for today?
