is a gravity dam on the Tadami River, 7.30NaN0 east of Tadami in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. Surveys for the dam were carried out in 1958, construction began in 1959 and the dam was complete in 1961. The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power generation and it supports a 92 MW power station consisting of 2 x 46 MW Kaplan turbines. The dam is 460NaN0 tall and 2640NaN0 long. It creates a reservoir with a 27000000m2 capacity, of which 10300000m2 is active (or "useful") for power generation. The dam's spillway is controlled by four sluice gates and has a 2000NaN0 discharge capacity.[2]
