Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant

Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant rather than just read about it. In short: The Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant (浪江・小高原子力発電所, Namie Odaka genshiryoku hatsudensho) was a planned nuclear power plant in Minamisōma and Namie in the Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. It was a project of the Tōhoku Electric Power Company.

Key takeaways

Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant (浪江・小高原子力発電所, Namie Odaka genshiryoku hatsudensho) was a planned nuclear power plant in Minamisōma and Namie in the Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. It was a project of the Tōhoku Electric Power Company. Preliminary ground work had been completed by the time of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. The plans were canceled after urging from local lawmakers in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and due to strong local opposition. On January 31, 2017, Tohoku Electric decided to donate the site of about 1.2 million square meters to Namie Town free of charge.

Reactors on site

Unit 1 (not built) Type: ABWR Start of construction: 2017 Begin of operation: 2021 (planned) Electric Output: 825 MW Fuel: UO2 fuel

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant

In research: Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Cancelled nuclear power stations, Fukushima nuclear accident, Japanese building and structure stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Namie-Odaka Nuclear Power Plant outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
