They are the  slowest waves of the three types of waves and are created when their  seismic energy goes upwards into the ocean.   As this happens it converts to sound energy making the T-wave.  The clip comes as the Japanese are trying to get their nation back on track.  The  now infamous Fukushima plant has been spewing radioactive substances  for more than a month after the 14 metre tsunami devastated its cooling  towers and wrecked emergency back-up systems.   Thousands  of families were evacuated from the nuclear disaster zone and are now  set to receive compensation pay-outs from the operator Tokyo Electric  Power Co (Tepco).   They will receive initial payments of about £7,300 and individual evacuees will get about £5,500.   <img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/04/15/article-1377141-0B97194600000578-418_638x477.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Out of control: This photo, taken three days ago, shows fires raging at  the stricken Fukushima nuclear plant.
