Located on the scenic Japanese coastline, Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc.’s new 446-MW Sendai Thermal Power Station Unit 4 is a combined-cycle plant that replaces three 175-MW coal-fired units that had been in operation for more than 50 years. The new plant features the first application of MHI’s 50-Hz M701F4 gas turbine, which provides a thermal efficiency boost from the old plant’s 43% to more than 58%. This change substantially reduces CO2 emissions.

Sendai Thermal Power Station Unit 4 is situated near the Matsushima Prefectural Natural Park, which is considered one of the most picturesque spots in Japan. Matsushima Bay features approximately 250 pine-clad islands with trees twisted by wind and many unusual rock formations shaped by the force of ocean waves. Consequently, the Tohoku Electric Power Co. made it a top priority to design the new power plant building so that its architecture would harmonize with the natural beauty of its surroundings.
The new single-shaft combined-cycle plant began commercial operation in July 2010 and features the first application of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ (MHI’s) 50-Hz M701F4. It burns natural gas, which boosts the plant’s thermal efficiency from its previous 43% to more than 58%, according to Carlos Koeneke, vice president of project engineering for Mitsubishi Power Systems. The plant achieves an approximately 40% reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by replacing coal with natural gas and attains an additional 20% CO2 reduction by increasing the thermal efficiency of the plant. The gas turbine provides 66% of the new plant’s combined-cycle power output; the steam turbine provides the balance.
“Special consideration was applied to the external appearance of the power plant building, which incorporates images of Japanese traditional architecture,” Koeneke said. “A white façade with tile roof design was applied. The final design required approval of the Japanese Government’s Agency of Cultural Affairs to be compatible with the surrounding of the Matsushima park, which has been designated a National Cultural Asset.”
The plant design team also minimized disruption of the natural landscape by reducing the number of stacks from the original three to one (as a result of replacing three units with one) and reduced the stack height from the original 120 meters (m, 393.7 feet) to 59 m. This change is especially noticeable when the plant is observed from the sea, according to Koeneke.

In my forum Friday 2 October .2009 entry, which a copy is included I predicted the Japan earthquake within 36 month and now you will see that the catastrophe for US will be beyond the imagination.

Major earhtquick expexted in the next 12 months
The reason that I raised the question is that the last three major quick’s have their roots in deep layers, and that is why their RS is in 7 and 8.
These high levels are the sign of fundamental move for free plates in conjunction with internal and surface gravitational pull of the planet.
If you look at the earthquake of Pakistan or Bam of Iran these are in 6 RS and are surface tension.
But when continents move or are about to make a major move, the motion comes from deep and above or around 8 km depth, and are usually higher RS in 7 and 8 region.
If you observe, the X-mass of 5 years ago tsunami, the move was east ward, now in the Samoa this is deep and east ward, the next east ward move, is for the plate in west USA to move. These eastern and southern indication motion are usually enhanced by the internal southern gravitational fields of the planet and create a more profound drop as well as horizontal movements of the plates, which this next move will fall west and south of California and north of central America.
I think between 6 to 12 month or topside 36 month this plate surface tension and internal gravitational motion will take place, this will lead to RS 7_8 in line with the last two major moves, but this time the New Zealand and Sydney harbour will bear the brunt of the west direction tsunami. At the same time free flow will touch what I call china eastern cost, this being including Japan.

Samoa earthquake
by MTKeshe » Fri Oct 02, 2009 6:31 am
From what we see in the past 72 hours, and from my understanding of the construction of the inner earth, I think without the shadow of the doubt the big earthquake which has been pending on the west coast of USA with high tsunami is inevitable .
The reason being is that with lock of the land has opened in deep layers with the earth movements of the past 5 years, this allowing and has opened in the eastern from the Asia plate, now the US continent has the room to move. Which these were locked together and long pending movement of the earth in US continent now has the room to take place.
I think this will in turn effect the earth gravitational forces and changes will be overall from deep inside of the planet.
This is not being to create controversy , but I think these recent movement have given the warning to western coast of US and east coast of china time to make arrangement to protect their nationals.MTKeshe
