Visual Tour of Fukushima Daiichi
After much research (much thanks to Elaine) we have compiled a visual tour of Fukushima Daiichi from before the quake.

Scroll down to go through the other buildings in the complex and then each reactor in number order

Other buildings around the complex


1939 - Tokyo Electric Power Plan to build Fukushima

1966 raw land at the site

1968 - Reactor 1 being built

Early image of plant offices

Hand over ceremony

Unsure if this is Daiini or units 5 and 6

Daiichi 1-4 before the cloud paint job.

Units 5 & 6 at Daiichi. Notice the different outside walls.

Land view out to sea of Daiichi

Dry storage? Not sure if this is the cask storage building or not. Cask storage is by the docks.
