The earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan’s northeast coast on 22 November tested the sea wall built around the Fukushima Daiichi NPP, which had been seriously damaged by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The earthquake was centred off the coast of the Fukushima Prefecture at a depth of about 10 kilometres, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Some residents in coastal areas of Fukushima and nearby prefectures were evacuated to higher ground.
