Each unit's rating, type and milestone dates as recorded by the Global Nuclear Power Tracker, with any correction we made to it. A dash or "not disclosed" means the source does not give the value.

Kaminoseki nuclear power plant in context
The nearest other tracked nuclear sites are Ikata nuclear power plant (44 km), Shimane nuclear power plant (204 km) and Genkai nuclear power plant (214 km).
Nearest tracked nuclear sites
| Site | Country | Distance | Operating GW gross |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ikata nuclear power plant | Japan | 44 km | 0.9 |
| Shimane nuclear power plant | Japan | 204 km | 0.8 |
| Genkai nuclear power plant | Japan | 214 km | 2.4 |
How these are worked out: ranks use gross operating capacity; ages count from the start-up year on record, as on the age page; build times run from construction start to grid connection, as on the build-times page; ratings are the tracker's net and design net capacity, as on the uprates page. Distances are straight-line between exact positions, so a site with only an approximate position gets none. A unit missing a date or a rating is left out of the figure that needs it.
| Location | Yamaguchi, Japan |
|---|---|
| Coordinates | 33.8512, 132.1182 |
| Elevation | about 5 mabove sea level |
| Setting | On the sea coast, 0.6 km from the water |
| Region | Eastern Asia |
| Units by status | Shelved: 2 |
Elevation is read at the listed coordinates from a 30 m terrain model (SRTM 30 m). Two independent models differ by a median of 6 m across our plants and by up to about 40 m on steep or coastal ground, and a point on a shoreline can read as sea level. Distance to the water is measured to a generalised 1:10 million coastline, so a few kilometres or less is not resolved. This is context, not a design-basis or flood-risk figure.
