Earthquake Hits Fukushima - How Much More Can It Take? (Video)

By Susan Duclos A 5.3 magnitude earthquake has hit Japan in the Fukushima area, causing great concern over the already crippled Fukushima nuclear plant that is still trying to control radiation leaks and radioactive water that is pumping into the Pacific ocean from the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that devastated the plant. According to reports coming from Japan there has been no further damage or spikes in radiation levels, but given the previous refusal to be forthcoming over the severity of the leaks and radiation levels from Japan and TEPCO, these reports must be taken with a grain of salt. Via RT: The epicenter was 20 km beneath the surface on the Pacific coast but only around 50 miles from the Fukushima plant. TEPCO, the company in charge of the cleanup operations at the site has said it is monitoring the plant and that so-far no irregularities have been discovered, according to the local media.
