This Feb. 2011 aerial photo shows Hamaoka nuclear power plant of Chubu Electric
Power Co., in Omaezaki city, Shizuoka prefecture, central Japan. Prime Minister
Naoto Kan told a news conference Friday, May 6, 2011, his government asked
operator Chubu Electric Power Co. to suspend two running reactors and a third
shut for a regular inspection at its Hamaoka nuclear plant, because of safety
concerns in the event of a major earthquake. (AP Photo/Kyodo News) |
A full-scale mockup of No.3 reactor of Chubu Electric Power's Hamaoka Nuclear
Power Station, which is the same model of boiling-water reactor (BWR) of
the Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s (TEPCO) crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear
Power Plant, is displayed at a nuclear museum beside the Hamaoka station
in Omaezaki, Shizuoka Prefecture, about 200 km (124 miles) southwest of Tokyo,
May 5, 2011. Workers entered the No.1 reactor building at Japan's crippled
Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant on Thursday for the first time since a hydrogen
explosion ripped its roof off a day after the devastating March earthquake
and tsunami. |

Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) officials remove a diesel
electric generator at Nong Jok power plant in Bangkok April 27, 2011, before
preparing it to be shipped to Japan. Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) requested
last month to borrow Thailand's power generators for at least 3-5 years to
ease Japan's power shortage caused by devastation from March 11's earthquake
and tsunami. Thailand will send Japan two generators, each with capacities
of 122 megawatts. The first generator is slated to be shipped May 9, and
the second May 15, and both generators are likely to be fully operations
in Japan in August. |
