On the afternoon of January 1, a 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, and the Japan Meteorological Agency issued a tsunami warning asking nearby residents to evacuate immediately. The reporter learned from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Japan's nuclear regulator, that the committee is investigating the impact of the earthquake on nuclear facilities, and the Shiga Nuclear Power Plant of Hokuriku Electric Power Company and others were affected by the maximum magnitude 7 earthquake. There are no abnormalities in the six nuclear power plants currently under inspection.

Earlier, China's National Ocean Forecast Observatory reported that the Japanese tsunami would not affect the coast of the mainland.
