Japanese nuclear power plants not affected by last quake.



TOKYO, July 10 (Itar-Tass) -- The Japanese Fukushima-1, Fukushima-2
and Onagawa nuclear power plants were not affected by the 7.1-magnitude
quake that occurred in the Pacific near Honshu Island's northeastern coast
on Sunday morning, the country's nuclear and industrial security agency
reported.
The earth tremours did not damage the Fukushima-1 plant. The plant
operator, the Tokyo Electric Power company, said all the systems were
working as normal. Specialists believe there is no tsunami threat to the
plant and the Megafloat structure located near the coast. Nevertheless,
the company decided to evacuate the plant personnel.
The tsunami has already come to the coast of the prefecture of Iwate.
The wave was about 10 cm high.
