Cooling system pump stops at Tokai No.2 plant
The Tōkai Nuclear Power Plant (東海発電所, Tōkai hatsudensho?, Tōkai NPP) was Japan's first 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, and still produces power as of 2009. The site is located in Tokai in the Naka District in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan and is operated by the Japan Atomic Power Company.
