LOW · 15.2/100
Earthquake 112 km from Tokai No.2 Power Station, 4 d ago (severity 34%, distance factor 0.47, recency 0.44) plus 8 other active hazards → exposure LOW (15.2/100).
Baseline: this exposure is at or above 78% of the 678 observations recorded for this facility since 2026-08-14 · highest recorded 24.8/100.
Facility impact: no operational effect has been confirmed in the public sources reviewed.Exposure measures external hazard conditions near the site; it is not an assessment of plant engineering safety.

How this score is calculated
External hazard exposure (0–100) combines four factors: hazard type, severity, proximity to the site and recency — higher when a serious hazard is close and recent. It does not incorporate facility vulnerability or consequence. Full methodology.
