NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS SAFE AFTER 7.4 EARTHQUAKE|福島規模7.4強震 核電廠冷卻池一度停運轉

An earthquake occurred on the morning of Nov. 22, in Japan's Fukushima Prefecture with a magnitude of 7.4. Fukushima's No.2 nuclear power plant's pool cooling system temporarily malfunctioned, and the Tokyo Electric Power Company had to shut down the reactors for nearly two hours.
