1330: A magnitude 6 earthquake hit Fukushima at 2215 (1315GMT) on Saturday, Japan's NHK reports.

I wonder what effect this will have .......

1349: A team from the National Institute of Radiological Sciences has been despatched to Fukushima as a precaution, reports NHK. It is reportedly made up of doctors, nurses and other individuals with expertise in dealing with radiation exposure, and has been taken by helicopter to a base 5km from the nuclear plant.

Mmmmmm..... thought the levels of radiation were very low and not dangerous. Precaution or not - this would seem unnecessay if the truth is as they say, no leaks to cause concern. If that be true, if they are so sure, why the precautionary measures so quickly in place... unless they are expecting problems.
