Fukushima nuclear plant operator in Japan says it has no new safety concerns after Jan. 1 quake

The operator of the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan says it has no new safety worries and envisions no changes to the plant’s decommissioning plans even after a deadly earthquake on Jan. 1 caused minor damage to another idled nuclear plant. The quake in Japan’s north-central region had rekindled concerns and prompted a regulatory body to order a close examination. The magnitude 7.6 quake and dozens of strong aftershocks have left 222 people dead. It also caused a small tsunami. A magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 destroyed key cooling systems at the Fukushima Daiichi plant, triggering a triple meltdown.
