In Japan they just call them 'thermal plants' or 'thermal generators' or something like that. Still, in Japan you have people who follow around US aircraft carriers and submarines to sample their wake for any signs of radioactive discharge.
- ekianjo 9y ago> In Japan they just call them 'thermal plants' Japan has completely shut down all operations of Nuclear Plants since 2011. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_Japan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_Japan

- rangibaby 9y agoI haven't heard that before. 原子力(atomic, using atoms)+発電所(power plant) is the common term eg 福島(Fukushima)第一(No. 1)原子力(nuclear)発電所(power plant)

- rangibaby 9y agoYes you are right. 原子 genshi means atom. 力 means power (strength). Stick them together and it means using the power of the atom.
