Japanese Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) has announced that no safety problems have been detected at three of the country's nuclear power plants in the wake of powerful earthquakes that rocked the country's northern coast on Wednesday.This development comes after reports about fire alarms being set off at the Fukushima nuclear plant and water pumps for the spent fuel cooling pool at two of the facility's reactors stopping.The statement does mention, however, that the NRA's "said 'deficiencies' were found at some of the nuclear facilities", and that "the operators were dealing with them".On 16 March, the coast of Fukushima in northern Japan was rocked by a magnitude 7.3 earthquake that was followed by a one-meter tsunami in the Miyagi prefecture.Not long after the first earthquake, another quake, magnitude 5.6, hit northern Japan.The disaster left at least one person dead and at least 161 injured.Located in the seismically active zone known as the Ring of Fire, Japan regularly suffers from powerful earthquakes.

No Safety Problems Detected at 3 Japanese NPPs After Earthquake, Nuclear Regulator Tells IAEA
10:17 GMT 17.03.2022 (Updated: 17:00 GMT 31.07.2023) A magnitude 7.3 earthquake rocked the coast of Fukushima in northern Japan on 16 March, followed by a one-meter tsunami in the Miyagi prefecture.
Japanese Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) has announced that no safety problems have been detected at three of the country's nuclear power plants in the wake of powerful earthquakes that rocked the country's northern coast on Wednesday.
This development comes after reports about
fire alarms being set off at the Fukushima nuclear plant and water pumps for the spent fuel cooling pool at two of the facility's reactors stopping.
According to a statement posted on International Atomic Energy Agency's website, NRA said that as of 04:30 UTC, 17 March, "there were no reports of issues giving rise to safety concerns at the nuclear sites located in the region".
The statement does mention, however, that the NRA's "said 'deficiencies' were found at some of the nuclear facilities", and that "the operators were dealing with them".
"We've received reports that there are no data irregularities in the Fukushima Daiichi and Daini nuclear plants and the Onagawa nuclear plant," government spokesman Hirokazu Matsuno said as quoted by AFP, referring to the facilities located in the affected region.
On 16 March, the coast of Fukushima in northern Japan was rocked by a magnitude 7.3 earthquake that was followed by a one-meter tsunami in the Miyagi prefecture.
Not long after the first earthquake, another quake, magnitude 5.6, hit northern Japan.
The disaster left at least one person dead and at least 161 injured.
Located in the seismically active zone known as the Ring of Fire, Japan regularly suffers from powerful earthquakes.
