Posted in: M6 quake strikes off Tokyo; 17 injuries reported See in context
Tokyo seems quite safe at the moment. Seismologists have revised upward the chance of a very big earthquake in Tokyo and vicinity within the next 30 years from zero to 2 percent to a maximum 5 percent. (source: http://newsonjapan.com/html/newsdesk/article/107383.php )

Fortuanately it was not that strong in Tokyo. Even the center was 6.2 or 6.0, most locations in Tokyo only had 4. The buildings are mostly designed to withstand up to 6 to what I have heard, so 4 should be considered safe.

Posted in: Thousands rally in Tokyo against nuclear power See in context
I wonder there are not more people on the street for that. Resuming the HAMOKA PLANT which sits right in the center of the expected TOKAI quake is probably the worst idea ever. Already before the shutdown about 1000000 signatures were collected to shut it down - without any effect though. The nuclear lobby in japan ist just too strong. Obviously there wont be any information on TV about that. The government further tries to control the internet for such stuff. Back in 2011, a friend translated foreign news into japanese to post them in twitter and facebook. These translations then magically disappeared which made her very upset about the control that is been taken. Furher, the secret of states law makes such actions even easier in the future.

Posted in: Fukushima nuclear plant workers rally against TEPCO See in context
I hope they kick some ass!
But they are also kinda naive to trust TEPCO in the first place. I would never do such a job, for no money in the world; its obviously suicide to work in such a radiated environment.
Also I am surprised that the public does not argue on soon restarting the HAMAOKA reactors , which sit in the center of the expected M8 Tokai quake.

well, who was expecting an honest job posting like this from TEPCO: "Help dismantling the plant at highest radiation levels. Wear an oxygen tank and a double-layer protective suit which still wont fully protect you as the radiation will be so high that it could burn through your annual exposure limit in just under an hour." Just ppl who were about to commit suicide anyways might sign up there
