Tokai No.2 Power Station, Nuclear power plant in Tokai, Japan.
The Tokai No.2 Power Station generates 1,100 megawatts of electricity through a boiling water reactor system in Ibaraki Prefecture.
The facility began operations in 1978 as part of Japan's expanding nuclear energy infrastructure and represents the second reactor at the Tokai site.
The power station's presence has influenced local community perspectives on nuclear energy, leading to ongoing discussions about safety and environmental impact.
The facility underwent extensive safety upgrades, including the construction of a seawall and reinforced electrical installations following the 2011 earthquake.
Located within 30 kilometers of 940,000 residents, this power plant stands as the only commercial nuclear reactor near the Tokyo metropolitan area.

This collection brings together nuclear power plants that have shaped the history of civilian nuclear energy. Some experienced accidents that changed the world’s view of nuclear energy. Chernobyl in Ukraine remains a symbol of the 1986 disaster, while Fukushima in Japan showed the risks of natural events. Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania paused the building of new reactors in the US for many years. Other sites are among the largest in the world, like Kashiwazaki-Kariwa in Japan or Bruce in Canada. Many places are facing challenges today, such as the Zaporijia plant in Ukraine. The collection also includes projects that tried to push the technical limits of this energy. Superphénix in France and Monju in Japan explored new types of reactors, with mixed results. Some facilities, like Bataan in the Philippines, were never operational despite being fully built. Others, like Oyster Creek or Tokai, helped start nuclear work in their countries. From Siberia to the United Arab Emirates, from Canada to India, these sites tell stories about energy choices, technical progress, failures, and questions that have surrounded this source of power for more than sixty years.
