OECD
• In Japan, before the Fukushima accident, nuclear energy
accounted for almost 30% of the total electricity from 47.5 GWe
of capacity (30 BWRs and 24 PWRS).
• The Shimane nuclear power station is located in Kashima-chou,
Shimane Prefecture, and owned by the Chugoku Electric Power
Company (The Chugoku EPCO)
• The Chugoku EPCO has two Boiling Water Reactors. The ratio of
nuclear power generation capacity is less than 10%.
- Unit No. 1 of Shimane (460 MW): Operation in 1974
- Unit No. 2 of Shimane (820 MW): Operation in 1989
This unit No. 1 is the first "all-Japanese plant", whose design,
manufacture and construction were conducted by The Chugoku
