Power Station On The Blink
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 blue rectangles are +10MW hydro
