Power Station On The Blink

Written by: adekun on 30 January, 2007 12:28 pm - Filed under: blog ?

On the local news this evening there was a report about a power station outage. There wasn’t much detail, but it was due to a water leak. What surprised me was that the nuclear plant mentioned was only a short drive away. Interested, having spent an extended stint in the UK energy industry (the later part focusing on renewables), I had a search about. Although difficult to see the detail, this map gives an idea of the system in the Chugoku region.

The red/white facing chevrons are nuclear
The blue rectangles are +10MW hydro
Red/white and blue/white bends are thermal
