Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) said no irregularities have been confirmed at NPPs along the Sea of Japan, including five operating reactors at Kansai Electric Power Co’s Ohi and Takahama plants in Fukui Prefecture. Two reactors at Hokuriku's Shika NPP in Ishikawa, the closest nuclear plant to the epicentre, have been shut since the Fukushima Daiichi accident in 2011. Regular inspections are taking place at the plant as aftershocks continue, but Hokuriku said no major damage has been reported, with cooling and monitoring systems all operating, although the electricity supply was compromised.

Japan suffered a powerful earthquake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale on 13 February, with the Fukushima Prefecture being one of the most affected by the tremors. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said it believes the quake was an aftershock of the March 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that destroyed the Fukushima Daiichi NPP. JMA said it was the strongest to occur off the country's northeastern coast since April 2011.

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.
