Tokyo Electric Power plans to scrap its Fukushima Daini nuclear station, located a few miles south of the bigger Fukushima Daiichi plant where three
reactors melted down in 2011 after an earthquake and tsunami, Kyodo News reported on Wednesday.
Tomoaki Kobayakawa, president of Tepco, (9501.T) as the company is called, will visit the governor of Fukushima prefecture on Wednesday to convey the plan and
its board will formally approve the decision later this month, Kyodo said, without citing sources.
Three reactors at Fukushima Daiichi, which had six reactors and is located about 12 kilometers (7 miles) north of Fukushima Daini, suffered meltdowns after the
giant March 2011 earthquake and tsunami shut down the plant’s cooling systems.
The Daini station also came close to a disaster, but retained enough backup power to keep cooling going. Successive Fukushima governors have called for it to be scrapped.
