Eastern Japan's Power, Refining Facilities Slowed by Earthquake

SUGAR LAND--March 21, 2022--Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Last week's 7.4-magnitude earthquake on the eastern coast of Japan was nowhere near as deadly as 2011's 9.0-magnitude catastrophe that killed nearly 20,000 people and caused the meltdown of three reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Nonetheless, the 2022 earthquake resulted in four deaths and the closures of several major factories and industrial facilities, some of which play major roles in supplying the global technology sector. Industrial Info's Global Market Intelligence (GMI) Outage Database is keeping tabs on these developments.
