Japanese PM closes Hamaoka nuclear plant over safety fears
REPORT - The International Atomic Energy Agency has said that Japan underestimated the tsunami threat ahead of the disaster that struck the eastern coast on March 11. So the closure of the Hamaoka nuclear plant near Tokyo has been welcomed by anti nuclear activists. The only question now is what happens to peoples' livelihoods and the local economy that are dependent on it?

SHUT IT DOWN!~Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant~The Inside Story
SHUT IT DOWN!!
HAMAOKA Nuclear Power Plant (reportedly the biggest one in Asia) is located in Omaezaki town about 35 minutes drive from my front door. There is a very high risk of earthquakes because it sits right above two tectonic plates. Though there are insufficient safety measures to withstand a magnitude 9.0 earthquake, it still is not shut down, even after the whole disaster in Fukushima.
Seismologist have already given out a warning for another earthquake and maybe another tsunami in that area within the near future.The Chubu Electric Power Company nor the government are reacting in a timely fashion.
A disaster similar to Fukushima would lead to even worse consequences! This would be the end for Japan as we know it and disastrous for the world.
WE CALL FOR a shut down of HAMAOKA Nuclear Power Plant ASAP!

WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS nuclear power plant is closed in Japan
*The Hamaoko plant has an 87 % chance of suffering a powerful quake, say Japanese government scientists*
Prime Minister Naoto Kan has stunned Japan's power industry by asking for the closure of the country's most controversial atomic plant, eight weeks after a huge earthquake and tsunami triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl.
Mr Kan said the authorities in Japan have long accepted the high probability of a major jolt underneath the Hamaoka complex, about 200km south-west of Tokyo. This is a decision made for the safety of the Japanese people when I consider the special conditions of the Hamaoka plant, he told reporters.
Some seismologists have called Hamaoka the world's most dangerous nuclear power facility. Government forecasts have predicted an 87 per cent chance of a powerful quake in the area, which sits on two major subterranean faults. A major accident would be likely to force the evacuation of Greater Tokyo, home to 28 million people.
The warnings have been given more urgency since the start of the crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex, 250km north-east of the capital. The plant's cooling systems were destroyed by March's magnitude-9 quake and the 15-metre tsunami that followed. Hamaoka is presently built to withstand only an 8.5-magnitude quake and an eight-metre tsunami.
Plant operator Chubu Electric Power Co will temporarily shut down reactors 4 and 5 and cancel the resumption of reactor 3, which was due to restart in the summer. Reactors 1 and 2 have been permanently mothballed. A sixth reactor is also planned. Mr Kan said the directive would continue until the appropriate safety measures were taken, including the strengthening of tsunami walls around the complex.
The Prime Minister's announcement is a huge step toward permanently closing this power plant and an acknowledgement that it is too dangerous to operate, said Yoshika Shiratori, who is leading a lawsuit against Hamaoka. We hope this is the beginning of the end for nuclear power in Japan, where constant earthquakes make them too risky.
It was unclear last night how Chubu Electric and the rest of Japan's nuclear industry will react. Legal experts told the media the premier has no authority to stop power plants from operating. Akihisa Mizuno, president of Chubu Electric, declined to comment. We will try to respond as soon as possible, he said. Chubu Electric won a lawsuit four years ago against local activists who wanted Hamaoka to be closed. They claimed that Chubu Electric had underestimated seismic activity when it built the plant four decades ago.

Since the triple disaster (earthquake, tsunami, nuclear accident) that hit Japan on March 11, safety and/or risk of nuclear power generation has been discussed all over the world. I visited Hamaoka Nuclear Power Station Exhibition Center (Omaezaki city, Shizuoka pref) of Chubu Electric Power Corporation to have a brief idea of nuclear power generation.
On May 6th, which is a few days after the visit, Japanese PM Naoto Kan requested Chubu Electric Power Corporation to stop operating Hamaoka Nuclear Power Station.

Japan PM orders Hamaoka nuclear plant shutdown
by Shingo Ito -- Fri May 6, 9:18 am ET
TOKYO (AFP) -- Japan's Prime Minister Naoto Kan on Friday ordered the suspension of operations at an ageing nuclear power plant southwest of Tokyo because it is located close to a dangerous tectonic faultline.
It comes eight weeks after a massive quake and tsunami damaged the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant northeast of Tokyo, sparking the world's worst atomic crisis since Chernobyl a quarter-century ago.
Seismologists have long warned that a major quake is far overdue in the Tokai region southwest of Tokyo where the Hamaoka plant is located. It is only 200 kilometres (125 miles) from the capital and its huge population.
As prime minister, I have ordered, through trade minister (Banri) Kaieda, that Chubu Electric Power Co. halt operations of all the reactors at the Hamaoka nuclear power plant, Kan said at a televised press conference.
He said the plant would stay shut while a higher sea wall is built and other measures are taken to guard it against a major quake and tsunami. Local media said the suspension would be for about two years.
The Hamaoka plant has five reactor units, but only two are running now -- number four and five. Reactors one and two, built in the 1970s, were stopped in 2009, and three is undergoing a checkup.
The relevant authorities, including the science ministry, have shown that the possibility of a magnitude-8.0 earthquake hitting the area of the Hamaoka plant within the next 30 years is 87 percent, the premier said.
This is a decision made for the safety of the people when I consider the special conditions of the Hamaoka plant, Kan said, adding: I made the decision myself as prime minister.
Kyodo News agency reported that Chubu had agreed to suspend operations.
Japanese anti-nuclear campaigners have long argued that the seismically unstable area, where two major continental plates meet, makes Hamaoka the most dangerous atomic facility in the quake-prone archipelago.
Heita Kawakatsu, the governor of Shizuoka prefecture, where the plant is situated, has expressed his strong opposition to resuming operations at the closed reactors, saying that anti-tsunami measures were inadequate.
Kan said the government made the decision after taking into account the enormous impact a serious accident at the Hamaoka nuclear plant would have on the Japanese society as a whole.
It is necessary to steadfastly implement measures on a middle- and long-term basis, including construction of sea walls which can fully withstand an anticipated Tokai earthquake, he said.
After the March 11 9.0-magnitude quake and tsunami knocked out cooling systems at Fukushima, leading to partial meltdowns and explosions, Chubu Electric said it planned to build a water barrier 12 metres tall or higher.
Greenpeace hailed Friday's news.
Greenpeace welcomes Prime Minister Kan?s request to close Hamaoka, one of the most dangerous nuclear reactors in Japan, said Junichi Sato, Greenpeace Japan executive director.
This is the first time a prime minister has directly requested a nuclear plant in Japan be closed. However, it cannot be the last.
Fukushima has provided a stark reminder of the consequences of nuclear power, and there are many other dangerous reactors still online.
The government must continue to close and decommission existing plants, cancel all new reactor builds and put Japan on a course for a future powered by renewable sources of energy.
Only then can the Japanese people feel their government is truly putting their safety first.
Japan, the world's number three economy which endures 20 percent of all major earthquakes, generates about 30 percent of its power from nuclear plants.
The record March tremor and wave which battered Japan's northeast coast caused 11 of Japan's 55 nuclear reactors to automatically shut down, while triggering a major crisis at the Fukushima plant.
Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from a 20 kilometre zone of the plant which has leaked radiation into the air, soil and sea, and which its operator, Tokyo Electric Power, expects to stabilise in six to nine months.
Nuclear plant in central Japan to be shut
The operator of the Hamaoka nuclear power plant in central Japan, says it has agreed to the government's request to close the facility.
Chubu Electric Power Company convened a special board meeting Monday to decide whether to accept Prime Minister Naoto Kan's directive to close the plant's three reactors while the company builds new safety features. The facility is about 200 kilometers west of Tokyo. It is known as Japan's most dangerous plant because it sits in an area where a major earthquake is expected within three decades.
The government reached its conclusion after evaluating the country's 54 reactors for quake and tsunami vulnerability. But the government also stressed that it will not demand other nuclear facilities to take similar measures, and that Japan will stick to its plan to develop nuclear energy.
Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshito Sengoku said, There is no need to worry about nuclear plants on the side of Japanese Sea or around Seto Inland Sea. That's a very clear conclusion after scientific research. And we will stick to nuclear power on our energy strategy.
