Japan's Fukushima Plant Workers Evacuate After Tsunami Warning

The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant was damaged during an earthquake in 2011 and has since been undergoing repairs.

However, a tsunami warning issued yesterday afternoon prompted the evacuation of workers at the site.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the North Pacific Ocean's Sendai plane encountered a sudden change in depth, prompting the warning. It is important to note that the agency clarified that there was no risk of a tsunami hitting the coastal areas of Japan.

The workers at the site were evacuated to a nearby building. The nuclear plant's security manager stated that the quake was felt for about two to three seconds.

Despite the evacuation, there was no immediate sign of abnormal conditions at the plant, according to the utility company. Officials are still investigating the cause of the warning and the resulting sensations.

Since the 2011 incident, regulations for nuclear power plants in Japan have been heavily scrutinized. The incident also led to a reevaluation of nuclear safety across the globe.

Stay tuned for more updates as the situation unfolds.
