Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant, Nuclear power plant in Naraha and Tomioka, Japan
The Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant contains four boiling water reactors across its 150-hectare site along the Pacific coast of Fukushima Prefecture.
The facility began operations in 1982 with its first reactor, followed by three additional units, reaching a total generation capacity of 4,400 megawatts.
The plant represents Japan's industrial development period when nuclear energy formed a central part of the national power generation strategy.
Following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami, the plant maintained cold shutdown status within 48 hours, demonstrating effective emergency response protocols.
Despite successful stabilization after the 2011 disaster, TEPCO announced a 40-year decommissioning plan for the facility in July 2019.

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.
