Shika Nuclear Power Plant

Active reactors ( gross ):

The nuclear power plant Shika (Japanese志贺原子力発电所, Shika genshiryoku hatsudensho ) is a nuclear power plant in Japan. It is in the village in the district Hakui Shika in Ishikawa Prefecture. The plant is 1.6 square kilometers in size and is one of the Hokuriku Denryoku. The power plant is located on the coast of the Sea of Japan.

The two reactors were supplied by Hitachi.

Accidents

At the turn of 1999/2000, the radioactivity monitoring seemingly turned into the service. It turned out that only no data has been supplied.

On June 18, 1999, there was an incident in which three control rods were removed from the core, down into it instead of one. This led to the reactor 15 minutes could not be controlled. All this was only on 15 March 2007 announced that authorities had not been informed.

Shutdown

On 18 March 2009 a court decision on the closure of Shika -2 was overturned by the Supreme Court Nagoya. According to the Supreme Court of the seismic safety of Shika -2 reflects the current state of the art and is based on the plant no threat to the population. In 1999, the original lawsuit against the operators of a group of Japanese citizens with the requested closure was filed due to safety concerns in the event of an earthquake. The operator announced in November 2007 that the two blocks are retrofitted in Shika, to increase the seismic safety. This work in Shika -2 have been completed since March 2008.
