March 12 (Reuters) - The table below shows the latest operational status of Japan's nuclear power plants after a strong earthquake on Friday, according to a Reuters survey.
A total of 11 reactors at four plants operated by three firms have shut down automatically after the earthquake, leaving 25,622 megawatts of nuclear power generation capacity, or 52.3
percent of Japan's total, in operation, Reuters calculations show.
Japan's nine utilities and one wholesaler have 54 nuclear power generators for commercial use, with a total generating capacity of 48,960 megawatts.
In the table below, capacities are shown in megawatts. "P" represents a planned regular
inspection shutdown and "U" an unplanned shutdown, including those on Friday due to the
earthquake.
