Talk:Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant

Power Station, not Power Plant

Onagawa ownership
In the section "Warnings and design critique" the operator of Onagawa is incorrectly stated to be TEPCO

"TEPCO ran other stations (such as the Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant) closer to the epicenter of the earthquake which had much more robust seawalls."

Onagawa NPP is owned and operated by Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc.

The plant at Fukushima Daini is the only other NPP operated by TEPCO close to the epicenter and it's seawall was grossly insufficient to withstand the tsunami. Disaster was only averted by extraordinary actions by the plant workforce in the days immediately after the earthquake. Fukushima Daini never resumed operations and was slated for decommisioning by TEPCO in July 2019.

Perhaps the sentence could be changed : "The Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant, operated by Tohoku Electric Power Co., which was closer to the epicenter, was also hit by the tsunami, but thanks to a 14.8 meter seawall was relatively undamaged and resumed operations in 2013." — Preceding unsigned comment added by De bhal (talk • contribs) 17:19, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Emphasis on "American designed" reactors
What's with this throughout the article? It feels like some political word game. 2600:1700:A90:1500:8143:631E:95A7:E7BF (talk) 18:46, 2 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Good point. The Americans did not design the geography, coast line, location, or the tsunami. Nor did they operate the plant. TEPCO could have selected another designer or designed it themselves. The author of that section should explain its relevance. Bryan MacKinnon (talk) 05:18, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Release of your radioactive water into the ocean.
Why can’t the radioactive waste water be re-used to cool the reactors again and again? 199.66.168.42 (talk) 14:57, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
