The plant was shut down for good on December 28, 2000.

The Government power company said the plant was shut down immediately.

The plant was shut down for an unrelated problem nearly two years ago.

Each plant has already been shut down for five weeks so far this year.

After that, officials said, the plant would be either shut down or turned to other uses.

"I told the government, 'If you don't make changes, in five years all our plants will be shut down.' "

In the past six months, the plant has been shut down 22 times.

The remaining nine plants will be shut down between now and 2022.

The plant had been completely shut down for almost 22 months following the earthquake.

The entire plant was shut down for the last time in 1987.
