Well, some say intense, and others say 'moderate'.
I think enenews has the higher believability factor, so am assuming 'intense' for now.
Seems there were two earthquakes in NE Japan – if you scroll down on this page:

I made this chart, yes the Nuke Pro made it. Several other blogs have copied it nearly verbatim, and I am happy that others want to spread actionable information to protect people (would have been nice to get a proper credit though). I had the chart translated to Japanese as i was sending a Geiger to Japan to help families address their real risk. See bottom for the Japanese version.
This is a super condensed table on how to interpret Geiger Readings. Use it to supplement your own research and getting a "block of knowledge".
If you take this radiation stuff at all seriously, then get a Geiger. All the rest is guesswork.

That chart also shows two events of 4.9 mag. The scale is different from the one used by USGS, a 5.1 and 5.2, http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/
