Nuclear power stations in Japan, including the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant, among the largest in the world, and the Fukushima Daiichi plant, damaged by the tsunami of 2011. A facility belongs here when its cited article places a nuclear power station in Japan. It excludes stations in other countries, which have their own groups, and this group records location and not reactor type. Japan built these stations to reduce its dependence on imported fuel, and both sites hold several reactors on the coast, which is why a station is placed here by the country named in its cited article.
