Indeed, So, according to your posted article, “The government earlier said a cooling function at Tokyo Electric Power's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was not working, but there was no radioactive leakage.”
Further, it states “The IAEA said in a statement that nuclear fuel requires continued cooling even after a plant is shut down.”
No need to worry, its just a cooling malfunction and the evacuation is only a precaution, after all no leaked radiation has been detected.
The mincing of words is getting quite delicate.
This situation is very dangerous. -

Bazzer - that's an interesting point and one that has been put forward before by scientists. Apparently (and of course we're no experts) previous so-called 'supermoons' have accompanied severe weather events, such as the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami. Next Saturday the moon will come within 221,567 miles of the earth, the closest since 1992. Again we stress that this is scientific theory, but we'll try and look into it.
