Emergency-proofing at core of restarting sprawling Japanese facility
Bill Spindle, Senior Global Correspondent May 19
KASHIWAZAKI, Japan — At the world’s largest nuclear power facility, seven massive reactors are lined up along the blustery coast of the Japan Sea.
All the reactors are idle, but the sprawling site is a beehive of activity. To one side construction workers add to fortifications. Below, workers discharge firehoses into a massive water reservoir. Inside the reactor and buildings housing electricity generating turbines, engineers and technicians monitor and maintain equipment.
