| | The building of hydroelectric power stations was also energetically pursued to help meet the increasing energy requirements of industrial development. One example, the Tagokura Power Station, Japan's largest reservoir-type power station, was constructed in 1959 in Tadami Town, an area blessed with rich water resources. The power station has served as a vital component of the industrial infrastructure up to the present, helping speed the prefecture's economic recovery after World War II, and the region remains a major center of hydroelectric power generation. The mid-20th century saw the start of construction of nuclear power stations in the central part of the Hamadori region, and today, in terms of electric power generated, [[nuclear]] power generation is the foremost energy source.<ref>www.pref.Fu<i></i>kushima.jp/list_e/hstrd_le.html</ref> | | The building of hydroelectric power stations was also energetically pursued to help meet the increasing energy requirements of industrial development.
