A two-foot tsunami has arrived at Onahama Port in Fukushima, followed by a 3 foot tsunami at Soma, a coastal city in the Fukushima region hit badly in the 2011 disaster, NHK has reported.


Tsunami waves are also reported to have arrived at the nuclear power plant, although there are no immediate details about height or potential damage, Danielle Demetriou writes. 


Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is currently being decommissioned, a delicate decades-long operation. It still currently requires critical cooling systems to operate to keep spent fuel cool. The only casualty that appears to have been reported so far from this morning’s earthquake is a woman who suffered cuts to her head from falling dishes, according to Kyodo news agency.
