A powerful earthquake in northeast Japan rocked a nuclear plant, causing a small amount of radioactive water to spill, but the operator said there was no immediate danger.

Thursday's 7.1-magnitude aftershock resulted in water flowing from containers onto the floor in all three reactor buildings at the Onagawa plant, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said on Friday.

This comes as three people were confirmed dead and about a hundred were injured following the quake.

Meanwhile authorities reported there was no new damage at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, about 100km away from Onagawa.
