From NRA (Nuclear Regulation Authority)’s real time monitoring data (Graphs attached below), radiation levels spiked up when the earthquake occurred.

The area is Southern part of Fukushima prefecture. 3 municipalities experienced the rapid increase of the atmospheric dose up to 54%.

The increase started around 16:30 and had the peak when M4.6 occurred. It went back to the normal level around 19:00.

Observing the spikes in 3 municipalities in the same area of Fukushima, it can be difficult to judge it was merely a malfunction of the monitoring posts.

There is a possibility that small quakes have been occurring before M4.6 hit and those lead to the increase in the radiation level.

However Tepco hasn’t announced any abnormality about the plant status.
