The Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant (福島第一原子力発電所, Fukushima dai-ichi genshiryoku hatsudensho, Fukushima I NPP, 1F), often referred to as Fukushima Dai-ichi, is a nuclear power plant located in the town of Okuma in the Futaba District of Fukushima Prefecture. With six separate units located on site with a combined power of 4.7 GW, Fukushima I is one of the 25 largest nuclear power stations in the world. Fukushima I is the first nuclear plant to be constructed and run entirely by The Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO).

In March, 2011, in the immediate wake of the Sendai earthquake and tsunami, the Japanese government declared an “atomic power emergency” and evacuated thousands of residents living close to Fukushima I.
Fukushima II Nuclear Power Plant, 11.5 kilometres (7.1 mi) to the south, is also run by TEPCO.

  • It's now the same level as Chernobyl, a level 7.
  • Today, it is June 15, 2013. While there seems to be some progress at this plant, it is woefully too little and getting much to late, very quickly. The response from TEPCO and the Japanese Government has been a horrible joke. The contamination is as bad today, (if not worse) than it was two years ago. All of the people that wished them well, blessed them and told them in Japan to hold on, would be in tears now. The situation is terrible, with no end in sight. Again, God help us all.
