Tuesday was just a prelude, Wednesday is HOT

A company statement said the leak had stopped and that there had been no "significant change" in the seawater under surveillance and no effect on the environment. 

The quake hit on Marine Day, a national holiday in Japan, when most people would have been at home.

Japan sits atop four tectonic plates and is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries. The last major quake to hit the capital, Tokyo, killed some 142,000 people in 1923, and experts say the capital has a 90 percent chance of suffering a major quake in the next 50 years.

An hour after the shooting, state troopers and police -- some carrying automatic weapons -- ordered the Capitol evacuated and began a room-by-room search. They did not say whether the search was a precaution or whether they had reason to believe someone else was involved.

Nearly 300 homes in Kashiwazaki -- a city known mainly for its fishing industry -- were destroyed and some 2,000 people evacuated, officials said.

Aileen Mioko Smith, of the environmentalist group Green Action, said the fire showed that some facilities at nuclear power plants such as electrical transformers were built to lower quake-resistance levels than other equipment such as reactor cores.
