Japan's Onagawa Nuclear Plant Loses Power in Latest Quake

Japan's Onagawa Nuclear Plant Loses Power in Latest Quake
TOKYO, Japan, April 8, 2011 (ENS) - Four people have died and more than 100 were injured in the 7.1 magnitude earthquake that rocked the northeast coast of Japan's Honshu island on Thursday, the second quake stronger than 7.0 to hit the area in less than a month.

Many buildings were damaged and over 3.6 million households are without electric power.

Thursday's quake did not change the status of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, crippled in the March 11 earthquake, but it caused a power supply interruption to a different nuclear plant and a uranium enrichment facility.
