KASHIWAZAKI, Japan, July 19 (UPI) -- The Japanese power plant damaged in a major earthquake on Monday sits atop a major geological fault line, officials reported Thursday.
The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear plant in Niigata prefecture is the world's largest nuclear power plan

However, Monday's quake measured 6.8 on the Richter scale. With each increase of 0.2 in magnitude, the energy of the quake doubles.
Tokyo Electric President Tsunehisa Katsumata was seen on television Wednesday bowing in apology at the site soon after the company said it had identified at least 50 quake-related problems at the shut-down plant, a New York Times correspondent reported.
Among the problems was that several hundreds barrels of radioactive waste tipped over during the quake
