Signboard at Hamaoka nuclear power plant

OMAEZAKI, Japan - A signboard at the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Station in Omaezaki, Shizuoka Prefecture, central Japan, on May 13, 2011, shows that the No. 4 reactor is stopped. Chubu Electric Power Co., the operator of the plant, halted the reactor the same day in a process for a temporary shutdown of the whole plant at the government's request, a precautionary measure for another accident in case of a powerful earthquake striking the region. The utility is scheduled to suspend the No. 5 unit the following day.
