The Shimane Nuclear Power Plant (島根原子力発電所, Shimane genshiryoku hatsudensho; Shimane NPP) is a nuclear power plant located in Kashima in the city of Matsue in Shimane Prefecture. It is owned and operated by Chūgoku Electric Power Company.
The plant was once said to be the closest nuclear power plant to a prefecture capital. However, on 31 March 2005, the area of Kashima merged with Matsue, making it part of the prefecture capital.
New Scientist magazine has reported that, in June 2006, a previously unknown geological fault was identified close to the plant, but it was expected to be years before the plant was strengthened.[1]
The power plant covers an area of 1.92 square kilometres (470 acres).[2]
