What is the difference of magnitude and intensity?
Report Comment
Magnitude measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake. Magnitude is determined from measurements on seismographs. Intensity measures the strength of shaking produced by the earthquake at a certain location. Intensity is determined from effects on people, human structures, and the natural environment.

Any way to rephrase that Iam335? Or, I'll just give some info below:
It was intensity 6.0 [USGS scale] – about 40 miles east of the Higashidori Nuclear Plant at a depth of 70 km [USGS][or 50km-Japan source].
This is the same plant that lost cooling on 311.

They have two reactors run by TEPCO and two by Tohoku Electric Co.
Not sure if it's in cold shutdown right now – although the link above mentions only one reactor brought to cold shutdown. The NZ engineering report might be quoting TEPCO which has been unreliable in its definition of 'cold shutdown' = continuous meltdown with corium below the reactor vessel.

Oops, I see your question now:
Go with SteveMT's excellent reply above.
Magnitude: 6.0
Intensity: 5+
Aomori-ken Toho-oki
But, I thought Japan used a different scale? Their 6.0 matches USGS' 6.0 in this case.

Look at NUMBER 4 through the Jnn camera to me it looks like the roof has fallen in on the side facing the camera Others please look also Mark

I re-put your question over here markww (Webcam Discussion Thread):
http://enenews.com/forum-general-discussion-thread-nuclear-issues-2012
But, it does make one wonder about the effects of thousands of aftershocks – possibly cumulatively more damaging than one big one.
Time for international help. One would think Ban Ki Moon should take charge, but he's busy with Iran it seems.

markww, i think #4 looks the same as ever, but i dont like the shaky cam much..

Expect to see radiation levels rise because of the shaking of the ground and the Coriums…

And there was that M6.4 – 3 days ago, 93km E of Miyako, which is roughly 40miles from Fukushima…
Interesting to note that Fukushima is not named as one of the "Nearby Cities". Also the 5.8 in Bulgaria occurred the same day; it was a CNN headline. Or at least it was on my iGoogle widgety box.
