The Nuclear Regulation Authority reported Friday that there were no initial evidence of irregularities at the region&#8217;s nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following Monday&#8217;s jolt, the JMA issued an unusual special advisory, warning that another quake of similar or larger magnitude was conceivable for another week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The earthquake registered 6.7 and was 130 kilometres (81 miles) off the city of Kuji in Iwate prefecture.
