Fukushima Daiichi units 4, 5 and 6, Nuclear reactor units in Okuma and Futaba, Japan

The three nuclear reactor units occupy a section of the Fukushima Daiichi complex, featuring cooling systems and containment structures designed for power generation.

Following the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, Unit 4 experienced an explosion while Units 5 and 6 remained relatively intact due to maintenance shutdown.

The status of these nuclear units influences local community perspectives on nuclear energy, leading to sustained discussions about energy policies in Japan.

The reactor units remain under continuous monitoring and decontamination procedures, with restricted access zones maintained around the facility perimeter.

Unit 4 underwent complete fuel rod removal by December 2014, marking a significant milestone in the decommissioning process of the facility.
