The Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Plant (福島第二原子力発電所 Fukushima Daini (
pronunciation) Genshiryoku Hatsudensho?, Fukushima II NPP, 2F), is a nuclear power plant located on a 150 ha (370-acre) site in the town of Naraha and Tomioka in the Futaba District of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) runs the plant.
After the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the four reactors at Fukushima II automatically shut down.
Japan's worst nuclear accident occurred at TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (approximately 12 km (7.5 mi) to the north) after the same March 11 earthquake.
All reactors in the Fukushima II Nuclear Power Plant are BWR-5 type with electric power of 1,100 MW each (net output: 1,067 MW each).
The reactors for units 1 and 3 were supplied by Toshiba, and for units 2 and 4 by Hitachi. Units 1–3 were built by Kajima while the unit 4 was built by Shimizu and Takenaka. The design basis accident for an earthquake was between 0.42 g (4.15 m/s2) and 0.52 g (5.12 m/s2) and for a tsunami was 5.2 m.
