The main special monitoring center of the State Space Agency of Ukraine (SSAU) has been recording all of the earthquakes that have struck Japan over the last few days, the center told Interfax-Ukraine on Monday.
"The PS-45 seismic monitoring station in Malyn (Zhytomyr region) recorded all the tremors in Japan over the last few days, including an explosion at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima. The online monitoring of the situation is currently continuing," a center representative said. .
He noted that several years ago, Ukrainian experts had drafted a project to create the Ionosat satellite earthquake warning system.
"Unfortunately, due to the lack of funds, the introduction of the system is expected in Ukraine no earlier than in 2015-2017," he said.
The Ukrainian PS-45 seismic monitoring station in Malyn is a list of objects of the international system of control over the implementation of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT).
