For all the car enthusiasts, located on the upper levels of the parking garage you will find yourself in the middle of the Import Reactor. The garage is filled with cars and trucks with music from a DJ, models, and lots of enthusiasts. See complete gallery here! There were also two very special cars drew a lot of attention here.
Seismic criterion is now Gal. J-Power in mid affirmed its intention to complete and commission the unit, and announced resumption of work in October. In September the company said that it planned to complete construction by the end of , and have it in commercial operation in It applied to the NRA for a safety review in December , and in aspects of the safety review were being negotiated with the NRA. In September , J-Power announced that the screening process of post-Fukushima safety standards had taken longer than anticipated.
J-Power expects that process to conclude in , delaying operation of the reactor until at least It would be able to consume a quarter of all domestically-produced MOX fuel and hence make a major contribution to Japan's 'pluthermal' policy of recycling plutonium recovered from used fuel. Tepco struggled for two years with the loss of its Kashiwazaki-Kariwa capacity — nearly half of its nuclear total — following the mid earthquake.
While the actual reactors were undamaged, some upgrading to improve earthquake resistance and also major civil engineering works were required before they resumed operation. Tepco undertook seismic upgrades of units 1 and 5, the two oldest, restarting them in In a one-kilometre southern seawall was constructed, but apparently some of this is on sediments and assumed Ss of Gal.
However the southern part of the site, with units , has proposed Ss of Gal. Units are rated Gal since January Work stopped after the Fukushima accident, though JSW started manufacturing major components in after the accident. In it was reported that it could not afford to proceed with Higashidori, and in December Tepco said it was seeking a partner to build and operate the plant. Tohoku's Higashidori 2 on the adjacent site as Tepco's was scheduled for construction start in , though the company has yet to decide whether to proceed.
The site is in Higashidori-mura, on the Pacific coast, near Mutsu on the eastern side of the Shimokita Peninsula in Aomori prefecture. The company is building a 2km seawall to protect the site. Modifying the two s units to current seismic standards would cost about double the above amount and be uneconomic.
Hamaoka is the company's only nuclear site, though it said that it recognizes that nuclear needs to be a priority for both "stable power supply" and environment. However, the shutdown of units in May by government edict for modification has set back plans.
In December the NRA said that a fault zone directly beneath the existing Tsuruga unit 2 reactor operating since was likely to be seismically active, and in May it endorsed an expert report saying that the reactor poses a risk in the event of a major earthquake.
An international review group investigating the faults with a massive excavation concluded in that the faults were not active, but the NRA accepted another report in March saying that there was an active fault, making its restart unlikely. Kyushu Electric Power Co. The Ministry of Environment told METI that the project was "absolutely essential, not just for ensuring energy security and a stable supply of electricity In METI began the process of designating it a key power source development project.
Kyushu had expected to start construction in March , for commercial operation in December The small island community of Iwaishima a few kilometres away has long opposed the plant. In October Chugoku confirmed its intention to proceed and awaited a safety assessment from the NRA.
In August the Yamaguchi prefectural government renewed a licence for Chugoku to reclaim land for the plant. In June it was reported that Chugoku Electric Power Co had changed the proposed start date of new reactor construction at Kaminoseki from July to January Chugoku has recently completed geological surveys at the site that have determined there has been no recent seismic activity in the area.
Tohoku Electric Power Co planned to build the Namie-Odaka BWR nuclear power plant from at Namie town in Minami Souma city in the Fukushima prefecture on the east coast, but indefinitely deferred this project early in Most of this capacity was to be nuclear.
Early in Chubu Electric Co announced that it intended to build a new MWe nuclear plant by , with site and type to be decided. The Joyo experimental fast breeder reactor FBR has been operating successfully since it reached first criticality in , and has accumulated a lot of technical data. It is MWt, and has been shut down since due to damage to some core components. The upper core structure had to be replaced, and this was completed in See also information paper on Japan's Nuclear Fuel Cycle.
The MWe Monju prototype FBR reactor started up in April and was connected to the grid in August , but a sodium leakage in its secondary heat transfer system during performance tests in December meant that it was shut down after only days actual operation, until May This was retrieved in June and replaced with a new one, allowing potential restart.
METI confirmed early in that Monju's seismic safety under new guidelines was adequate, and NSC approved its restart and operation for a three-year period, prior to "full operation" in However, in November the NRA called for the ministry to find a new owner and operator for Monju, due to failure of safety checks. The Fukui governor reminded the panel that Monju was positioned in the national Strategic Energy Plan to become an international research base for studies on waste volume reduction, the mitigation of danger, and other improvements to technologies related to nuclear non-proliferation.
In December the government confirmed plans to decommission it, despite Fukui local government being adamantly opposed to this. Originally in s the concept was to use fast breeder reactors FBRs burning MOX fuel, making Japan virtually independent regarding nuclear fuel. This evidently remains the plan: a demonstration breeder reactor of MWe by , and commercial MWe units by In JNC initiated a program to review promising concepts, define a development plan by and establish a system of FBR technology by The parameters were: passive safety, economic competitiveness with LWR, efficient utilisation of resources burning transuranics and depleted U , reduced wastes, proliferation resistance and versatility include hydrogen production.
Phase 2 of the JNC study focused on four basic reactor designs: sodium-cooled with MOX and metal fuels, helium-cooled with nitride and MOX fuels, lead-bismuth eutectic-cooled with nitride and metal fuels, and supercritical water-cooled with MOX fuel. All involve closed fuel cycle, and three reprocessing routes were considered: advanced aqueous, oxide electrowinning and metal pyroprocessing electrometallurgical refining. Further aims are to commercialise and establish fast reactors as the international standard, while achieving high levels of safety and economy at the same time.
In December the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry METI finalised an updated plan for developing domestic fast reactors and had it approved by relevant ministers.
The plan calls for a new fast reactor to be in service by , with its specifications to be decided about The future of collaboration on the French Astrid project will have a bearing on this. Some work has been done by JAEA on reprocessing of used fuel from fast reactors, with higher plutonium levels. FEPC envisages aqueous reprocessing which recovers uranium, plutonium and neptunium together, and minor actinides being added to the MOX pellets for burning.
This would be a large unit to burn actinides with uranium and plutonium in oxide fuel. It could be of any size from to MWe. It was responsible for a joint bid with Areva for work on the US Advanced Recycling Reactor project and is part of the Japanese involvement with the French Astrid project. Astrid was initially envisaged as a MWe prototype of a commercial series of MWe sodium-cooled fast reactors which is planned to be deployed from about to utilise the abundant depleted uranium available by then and also burn the plutonium in used MOX fuel.
Astrid arises from a French government commission to the CEA to develop a fast neutron reactor which is essentially a Generation IV version of the sodium-cooled type which already has 45 reactor-years' operational experience in France. In June the French government stated that Astrid will have its capacity scaled down from the initially planned MWe to between and MWe to reduce construction costs and also because development of a commercial fast reactor was no longer a high priority.
Toshiba said that the smaller Astrid would be a step back for Japan's fast reactor development process, possibly forcing the country to build its own larger demonstration reactor in Japan rather than rely on Astrid. A number of public opinion polls were taken in April and May following the Fukushima accident. This contrasts with a number of media polls with voluntary and hence non-representative participation, and the distortion is compounded by a news media survey finding that 47 of the 50 most popular press outlets in Japan said they were antinuclear.
Its first commercial nuclear power reactor began operating in mid, and nuclear energy has been a national strategic priority since This came under review following the Fukushima accident but has been confirmed. The first two reactors restarted in August and October , with a further eight having restarted since. Conversion and Deconversion. Transmission Coolers. Replacement Radiators. Chassis Components.
