Another Nuclear Plant Close to Tokyo (une autre centrale nucléaire à proximité de Tokyo)
As of the end of the last year, the central banks in the world owned 35 trillion yen of yen-dominated assets ($438 billion). It was 24.6% up year on year.
So, the central banks of European countries and North America have been buying assets and bonds sold on a yen basis.
Economists and journalists in New York and London (as well as the Davos Conference) must be losing supporters, since they predicted that Japan would go bankrupt even before the 9/11 Terror, namely before the American sub-prime loan-triggered financial crisis, the GM bankruptcy, the Lehman shock, the Iceland crisis, the Ireland crisis, and the Greek crisis.
SECTION I: Tokai Daini (No. 2) Nuclear Power Station
There is a very notable nuclear power station situated between Tokyo and Fukushima Daiichi.
The Tokai Daini nuclear power station was not run by TEPCO but by the Japan Atomic Power Company that first introduced a nuclear power plant into Japan.
Tokai village in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan is well known to as the birthplace of nuclear power in Japan.The Tokai Daini Power Station, however, had to suffer the 3/11 Disaster like all the nuclear power stations set on the shore of the northeast part of Honsyu Island or northeast of Tokyo.
The Japan Atomic Power Co. began construction of Japan's first commercial nuclear power plant in Tokai village in 1960. Tokai Power Station was completed time in 1966, and then Tokai No.2 Power Station entered commercial operation in 1978.
Electricity produced from these power stations is transmitted and distributed, through utility companies in the Tokyo and Tohoku service areas, to industrial, commercial and domestic users, thus helping greatly to balance the supply and demand for power in Japan.
Japan's first large-scale nuclear power plant
In June 1973, construction began on the Tokai No.2 Power Station, Japan's first large-scale nuclear power plant. The facility entered commercial operation in November 1978. The plant is designed to provide a maximum of safety and reliability of the plant by enhancing operational efficiency, conducting regular inspection and maintenance, and computerizing the radiation control system. The plant holds the record for gross energy production on a single unit generation basis, for a power station in Japan.
Electric output: 1,100,000 kW
Reactor type: Boiling water reactor (BWR)
Fuel: Low enriched uranium (approx. 132 tons)
Start of commercial operation: November 1978
Power supplied to: Tohoku Electric Power Co.,Inc.
The Tokyo Electric Power Co., Inc.

The Tokai Daini (No. 2) nuclear power plant lost electricity immediately after the earthquake. Then, three emergency power generators started and two of emergency core cooling systems were activated. Subsequently, 30 minutes after the M9.0 earthquake, a 5.4 meter high tsunami attacked the nuclear power plant, halting one of the emergency power generators and damaging one of the two emergency core cooling systems.
So, eventually it took three and a half days to bring Tokai Daini into a cooling and safe state with its nuclear fuel, though without meltdown and hydrogen explosion.

A: Yen/Dollar = 79.16
B: Yen/Yuan = 12.25
C: Yuan/Dollar = 6.46
A = B x C
If the Japanese yen gets so stronger than the U.S. dollar (A gets smaller), the yen also gets stronger against the Chinese yuan (B gets smaller) provided that the relationship between the yuan and the dollar is stable.
So, it looks advantageous for the U.S. and China that the yen gets stronger and stronger as they want to increase exports to Japan.
This is a challenge that Japan has to take up while suffering the aftermath of the 3/11 great earthquake and tsunami in addition to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident.
This is a situation rather where the Revelation should be referred to. Japan may be truly in the vanguard of the era.
