Earthquake<\/a>,\u00a0Japan<\/a>,\u00a0Natural disasters<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A 4.9 magnitude earthquake with an epicenter close to Fukushima Prefecture has struck the eastern coast of Japan, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.<\/p>\n

The tremor was registered at a depth of 20 km. There have not been immediate reports of damage or injuries. No tsunami warning has been issued.<\/p>\n

It is the second earthquake to hit Fukushima neighboring prefecture in the past two days. A 5.0earthquake<\/a>\u00a0was registered on Japan\u2019s east coast, with Sunday\u2019s tremors felt as far away as Tokyo.<\/p>\n

The news comes amid preparations for a tough and dangerous cleanup operation to remove fuel rods from Unit 4 at Fukushima Daiichi plant.<\/p>\n

Scheduled to start in mid-November, it will involve the careful, manual removal of 400 tons of spent nuclear fuel rods.<\/p>\n

Should the attempt fail, horrific quantities of radiation could be released into the atmosphere, or cause an explosion many times worse than the original disaster.<\/p>\n

Even the slightest tremor during the operation would risk a catastrophe greater than Chernobyl.<\/p>\n

The mid-November fuel removal operation will be just the first step in a decommissioning process that is expected to take decades.<\/p>\n
