IAEA: Nuke plant near Fukushima largely undamaged

None

Nuclear experts have found that a Japanese nuclear power plant that was closer than Fukushima to the epicenter of last year's devastating earthquake was largely undamaged because it was designed with enough safety margins.

 

A team from the UN's nuclear watchdog says the Onagawa plant in northern Japan suffered higher levels of ground shaking than Fukushima Dai-ichi but was "remarkably unaffected" because it was well prepared. (AP)
