Chairman Shinichi Tanaka of the Nuclear Regulation Authority scheduled a meeting with Tokyo Electric's president on Monday after meeting with Electric officials earlier this week to discuss how typhoon rains could impact Fukushima after a 7.3 earthquake that hit Japan's coast early Saturday morning, the Associated Press reported.

The quake hit Japan's east coast at 2:10 a.m. and Japanese emergency agencies issued tsunami advisories for the area surrounding the Fukushima nuclear site, the AP reported. It hit about 170 miles off Fukushima, and it was felt in Tokyo, about 300 miles away.

There were no reports of damage on land, but tsunamis were reported along the coast in four different areas, according to the AP.

"It was fairly big, and rattled quite a bit, but nothing fell to the floor or broke. We've had quakes of this magnitude before," Satoshi Mizuno, an official with the Fukushima prefectural government's disaster management department, told the AP by phone. "Luckily, the quake's center was very far off the coast."

The operator of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant told Mizuno that no damage or abnormalities have been found. The same plant was severely damaged in 2011 by earthquakes and tsunamis, the AP reported.

In Kuji city in Iwate prefecture and Soma city in Fukushima reported 40 centimeter tsunamis, and Ofunato city in the Iwate prefecture reported 20 centimeter tsunamis, according to the AP. Ishinomaki in the Miyagi prefecture experienced 30 centimeter tsunamis.

Since March 2011, all but two of Japan's 50 nuclear reactors have been offline due to the 9.0 earthquake and tsunamis caused meltdowns and massive radiation at the Fukushima plant, killing over 19,000 people, the AP reported.

Since then, a string of mishaps this year at the Fukushima plant has raised international concerns about the operator's ability to tackle the continuing crisis, according to the AP.
