Takahama Nuclear Power Plant
Takahama, Japan
The 159th largest power station in the world
The Takahama Nuclear Power Plant (Takahama genshiryoku hatsudensho, Takahama NPP) is a nuclear power plant located in the town of Takahama, Ōi District, Fukui Prefecture. It is owned and operated by the Kansai Electric Power Company and is on a site with an area of about 1 km2. The four pressurized water reactors give the plant a total gross electric capacity of 3,392 MW and average yearly production of 22,638 GWh (averaged on 2006–2010 data). From 2012 to 2016, the plant was shut down most of the time, with only reactor 3 briefly in operation, due to technical problems and opposition from the local residents. Unit 3 and 4 were eventually restarted in May and June 2017, while unit 1 was restarted on 28 July, 2023.
