Fox News Discovers Nuclear Reactor In Japanese Disco

[Faygo Kid]

It's insane that anyone could consider these nuts a "news channel:" http://mediamatters.org/blog/201103140036

Earlier today on Fox News' Your World With Neil Cavuto, this map popped up detailing the locations of Japan's nuclear power plants:



One name seems out of place on the graphic -- that of "Shibuyaeggman."

It doesn't show up on the International Atomic Energy Agency's list of Japanese nuclear power stations, and this map of Japanese nuclear installations from the Department of Energy's International Nuclear Safety Center doesn't have any listing for "Shibuyaeggman," and doesn't show a nuclear power plant anywhere near the location on the Fox News map. So I did a little research.

A quick Googling of "shibuyaeggman" turned up no meaningful results. A Nexis search was also fruitless. However, further inquiries revealed that Eggman is the name of a dance club in a trendy neighborhood of Tokyo called... Shibuya. And, it just so happens, the Fox graphic appears to place the alleged reactor in Tokyo. Here's a photo of Eggman (http://mediamatters.org/rd?to=http%3A%2F%2Fcbk0.google.com%2Fcbk%3Foutput%3Dtile%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv%26panoid%3D0wdzm7-uzkTG_1CorlMAqw%26x%3D0%26y%3D0%26zoom%3D3) -- as you can see, it's right below The @ Super Suits Store. And Johnny Hi-Fi played there in 2006.

Sounds like a fun place. But it doesn't sound like a nuclear power plant.

2. Hey - the UK had a reactor in a Scheduled Ancient Monument with World Heritage Site status

‘Jason’ was a low-power nuclear reactor used to educate and train military and civilian personnel involved in the naval nuclear submarine propulsion programme. It was situated in a reactor hall within King William Building, a Grade 1 listed building within the Old Royal Naval College at Greenwich, which itself is a Scheduled Ancient Monument having World Heritage Site status.

The reactor was first taken critical at the College in November 1962, having been previously operated by the Hawker Siddley Nuclear Power Corporation at Langley from February 1959. The decision to decommission Jason was taken in 1996, following the ministerial decision that the Royal Naval College would pass to nondefence use by the Millennium.

The Ministry of Defence (Navy) removed the Jason reactor between 1996 and late 1999. This was the first time that the MoD(N) had completely decommissioned a shore-based reactor and subsequently handed over the site for civilian occupancy and unrestricted future use. The College now forms part of the University of Greenwich and the King William Building houses lecture theatres and teaching rooms.
