Leading events in the field of energy in the world and in Russia. November 9, 2026.
1 Prepared for a nuclear disaster: Japan conducted drills in a real earthquake.
In the land of the rising sun, large-scale exercises were held to practice operations in the event of a nuclear disaster at the Tomari nuclear power plant. For the first time in 10 years, trainings took place directly on the station grounds, attended by approximately 8,500 local residents and a state of emergency was declared. The exercises took place in the conditions of a real earthquake in central Japan with a magnitude of 5.7 points.
According to the scenario, the movement of the earth's crust off the west coast of Hokkaido caused equipment failure in the third reactor and failure of the cooling system. The participants in the exercise practiced evacuating victims and coordinating government actions.

Compensatory measures - importing oil products, selling non-standard fuel and introducing new capabilities - help to maintain stability in the regional markets.
