Monitored data on environmental radiation levels in Tokyo. Press Room | Press Releases. TEPCO. Fukushima I. The Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant ( 福島第一原子力発電所 , Fukushima Dai-ichi ( pronunciation ) Genshiryoku Hatsudensho ? , Fukushima I NPP) , also known as Fukushima Dai-ichi ( dai-ichi means "number one"), is a disabled nuclear power plant located on a 3.5-square-kilometre (860-acre) site [ 1 ] in the towns of Okuma and Futaba in the Futaba District of Fukushima Prefecture , Japan. First commissioned in 1971, the plant consists of six boiling water reactors (BWR). These light water reactors [ 2 ] drove electrical generators with a combined power of 4.7 GWe, making Fukushima Daiichi one of the 15 largest nuclear power stations in the world .
The plant suffered major damage from the 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that hit Japan on March 11, 2011 and, as of February 2013, is not expected to reopen. As of April 2012, Units 1-4 are no longer in operation. The Fukushima II Nuclear Power Plant , or Fukushima Dai-ni ( "number two" ), is located to the south and also run by TEPCO. N.B. Fukushima II. The Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant (福島第二原子力発電所, Fukushima Daini ( pronunciation) Genshiryoku Hatsudensho? , Fukushima II NPP, 2F), is a nuclear power plant located on a 150 ha (370-acre) site[1] in the town of Naraha and Tomioka in the Futaba District of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan.
The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) runs the plant. After the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the four reactors at Fukushima II automatically shut down.[2] Japan's worst nuclear accident occurred at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (a 11.5 km (7.1 mi) boundary to boundary road journey to the north[3]) after the same March 11 earthquake.
Description[edit] All reactors in the Fukushima II Nuclear Power Plant are BWR-5 type[4] with electric power of 1,100 MW each (net output: 1,067 MW each).[5] The reactors for units 1 and 3 were supplied by Toshiba, and for units 2 and 4 by Hitachi. Electrical connections[edit] Events[edit] 1989 incident[edit] 2011 earthquake and tsunami[edit] See also[edit] Onagawa. The Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant (女川原子力発電所, Onagawa ( pronunciation) genshiryoku hatsudensho? , Onagawa NPP) is a nuclear power plant located on a 1,730,000 m2 (432 acres) site[1] in Onagawa in the Oshika District and Ishinomaki city, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. It is managed by the Tohoku Electric Power Company. It was the most quickly constructed nuclear power plant in the world. [citation needed] The Onagawa-3 unit was used as a prototype for the Higashidori Nuclear Power Plant. The plant conforms fully to ISO 14001, a set of international environmental management standards.
According to Reuters the Onagawa nuclear power plant was the closest nuclear power plant to the March 2011 earthquake epicenter. Reactors on Site[edit] Unit 1[edit] Shut down manually on 25 February 2005 because it was determined that the reactor containment leaked small amounts of nitrogen. Unit 2[edit] Unit 3[edit] Incidents[edit] 2001[edit] Small fire in the administrative offices. 2005[edit] 2011[edit] See also[edit] Tōkai. The Tōkai Nuclear Power Plant (東海原子力発電所, Tōkai genshi-ryoku hatsuden-sho? , Tōkai NPP) was Japan's first commercial nuclear power plant. It was built in the early 1960s to the British Magnox design, and generated power from 1966 until it was decommissioned in 1998.
A second nuclear plant, built at the site in the 1970s, was the first in Japan to produce over 1000 MW of electricity. Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami the number 2 reactor was shut down automatically. It has been suggested that the reactor should not be restarted and should be decommissioned. Location[edit] The site is located in Tokai in the Naka District in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan and is operated by the Japan Atomic Power Company. Reactors on site[edit] Unit 1[edit] Tōkai I This reactor was built based on British developed Magnox technology. Unit 2[edit] This Boiling Water Reactor was the first nuclear reactor built in Japan to produce over 1,000 MW of electricity. Incidents[edit] Public opinion[edit]
