Giappone: abbiamo un problema a tre centrali

Greenpeace

Four nuclear power plants located on the eastern coastline close to the epicenter were affected: Onagawa (3 reactors), Fukushima-Daiichi (6 reactors), Fukushima-Daini (4 reactors) and Tokai (1 reactor). These reactors are all using boiling water technology, and enter services in the 1970s and 1980s.

The next nearest nuclear power plant is Kashiwazaki-Kariwa (7 reactors) that sits on the opposite site of Honshu island (the main Japanese island, where Tokyo is), on its western coast.

Fukushima-Daiichi (operated by TEPCO):

• 1 x 439 MW started in 1970
• 4 x 760 MW started 1973-1977

Fukushima-Daini (operated by TEPCO):

• 4 x 1067 MW started 1979-1986

Onagawa (operated by Tohoku):

• 1 x 498 MW started 1983
• 2 x 796 MW started 1994 and 2001

Tokai 2 (operated by Japco):
