TEPCO News. After severe accidents inflicted on its Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant in Fukushima Prefecture by last week's catastrophic earthquake and tsunami, Tokyo Electric Power Co. which is partly owned by TEPCO, will discontinue the construction of a new nuclear power plant in Higashidori, Aomori Prefecture.
Electric Power Development Co. is also known as J-Power, and Recyclable-Fuel Storage Co. They told the Aomori prefectural government that they will shelve their respective projects to build nuclear facilities for the time being.
TEPCO, which owns Tokyo Electric Power Co, began building the plant in late January in the village on the Pacific coast in northeastern Japan, with an eye to begin operating it in March 2017. It is designed to have an advanced boiling water reactor with a 1.39 million-kilowatt output capacity, the largest of the type in Japan.
Head of TEPCO's Aomori office Mikio Sakuma said, "We will put off full-scale construction (of the plant) slated to start in April. We are not in a position to say when to resume building it."
Recent news, J-power has been constructing a nuclear power plant in the town of Oma and Recyclable-Fuel Storage a temporary storage facility. It has been doing for spent nuclear fuel in the city of Mutsu.
