January 17, 2012. In an attempt to protect its assets from a Fukushima-style meltdown, Chubu Electric Power Co. is constructing an 18-meter (60 foot) anti-tsunami seawall around its Hamaoka nuclear plant. The plant is reportedly near a fault line that may be vulnerable to future earthquakes and tsunamis. The decision to build the wall came following the Japanese government's forced shutdown of the plant in order to implement disaster mitigation measures.
