The Japanese news agency Kyodo News reported that the plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power Co., observed no abnormality in radiation or equipment after the quake

I guess that means no abonormality above and beyond what they've already been measuring from the last disaster...

Not yet...but there will be aftershocks..../s

300 tons of radioactive water spilling into the Pacific ocean daily is "normal" for them at this point. A 400 ft tall pipe near the reactors has 8 cracks in the support braces. Radiation level around the pipe is 10 sieverts per hour. A significant crack exists at a point 200 ft above ground.

The continuous pour of water for cooling is/has leached out most of the boron added to quench the emissions from the fuel rods in storage. The racks are unstable. A significant quake could collapse them into a pile with the possibility of going critical. It's just a matter of time as the site is too "hot" for humans to approach.

That's the "new normal" we keep hearing about...
