Fox News: 'Man you been a naughty boy you let your maps go wrong'

Geography has never been a strength of Fox News and it appears it has let them down once again as this map of nuclear reactors in Japan, which includes one right in the centre of Tokyo called SHIBUYAEGGMAN, shows (screengrab from Media Matters for America):

 
A nuclear power plant in the trendy high streets of Shibuya would be the equivalent of a nuclear power plant in London's West End. So it seems unlikely.

And what's more Shibuya Eggman does NOT appear on the International Atomic Energy Agency's list of nuclear reactors.

Because it isn't one.

Shibuya Eggman is in fact a nightclub, which would have celebrated its 30th anniversary last Sunday, had it not been for safety concerns after the recent earthquake.
  
In fact, the dance venue was so concerned at being identified as the location of a nuclear power plant that it has recently inserted an English explanation for its customers on its website:

"Shibuya Eggman has no nuclear plant. Our electricty's powered only by music."

Yet there was a nuclear reactor in the 17th century buildings of the Royal Naval College in the centre of Greenwich until the mid-90s, about which neither the nearby residents nor the many thousands of tourists who visited the World Heritage Site knew.

So unlikely, but not improbable.

Is the one labelled "Sendai" right? I have very little knowledge of Japan or Nuclear power stations, but I've watched the news occasionally and the city of Sendai seemed to be directly in the path of the tsunami which came from the North East.
