Japan Nuke Plant Leaked After Big Quake- Another Quake Nearby

The nuclear power plant damaged in Japan's 6.7 quake reportedly leaked about 300 gallons of radioactive water into the sea (Godzilla?). This is Japan's "most powerful" out of all 55 Japanese nuclear reactors in terms of amounts of electricity produced. Nine people were killed and nearly a thousand were injured by the quake that struck Monday morning Japan time.

The USGS reports another quake- a 6.8 magnitude - occurred almost exactly 13 hours later- the epicenter about 100 miles away from the earlier quake.
No word on additional damage from the 2nd big quake.
