TOKYO: Workers at the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant (pic) in northeast Japan were evacuated Wednesday (July 30) after an 8.7-magnitude earthquake off Russia's far east triggered tsunami warnings around the Pacific.
"We have evacuated all workers and employees" at the Fukushima Daiichi plant -- which went into meltdown after being hit by a tsunami in 2011 -- a spokeswoman for plant operator Tepco said, adding that "no abnormality" had been observed at the site. - AFP
