What happened

Units 1–4 permanently ceased commercial operation. This is a reactor closure, not a nuclear accident or an unplanned outage. All four units had remained offline after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
