Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant #2 needs to be stopped

Following the operation stop from Plant #1 and #3, both of which had exploded, now Plant #2 came to a situation to stop operations.

All of those nuclear power plant's problems came from the break-down of the redundant generators which were all soaked by Tsunami. They were supposed to pomp up pure water to cool down the core poles. But they didn't work.

Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant has been covering 25% of electricity consumption of Tokyo area. With the outage of Plant #1, #2 and #3, now the capability of providing enough electric power is extremely decreasing.


Now planned black-outs started to executed from Group 5. For the area categorized as Group 5, they won't have traffic lights and hospitals neither. Large hospitals might be fine because they have generators, but small clinics may not.
