This is going to be a big one but I'll review it. I'm going to start by doing an image review, then check sources, then prose. IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:01, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rate	Attribute	Review Comment
1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
2. Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	See comments below. IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	2c. it contains no original research.	per above. IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	See comment below. IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
	7. Overall assessment.	I'm going to place this on hold since there is several unsourced sections of text and the citations need to be edited to be consistent (either use templates or don't, either use rp or sfn) and I have a feeling that may take awhile.

Is there a reason why you included sources in the lead? IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The graphs and other diagrams should have refs in the captions. IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ref 88 has no title. IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Modi: India to build 10 more nuclear reactors with Russia" Is from a somewhat unreliable source. Is there a better source available? IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to need a page number for ref 31 "Regulatory Effectiveness of the Station Blackout Rule" as it is 87 pages long. IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm getting a 404 error for ref 44 "Fukushima faced 14-metre tsunami" IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Upon detecting the earthquake, all three operating reactors (units 1, 2, and 3) automatically shut down. Due to expected grid failure and damage to the switch station as a result of the earthquake, the power station automatically started up the EDGs, isolated the reactor from the primary coolant loops, and activated the emergency shutdown cooling systems. is unreferenced.

One air cooled EDG, that of unit 6, was unaffected by the flooding and continued to operate. The DC batteries for units 1, 2, and 4 were also inoperable shortly after flooding. is unreferenced. IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (NAIIC) was the first independent investigation commission by the National Diet in the 66-year history of Japan's constitutional government. is unreferenced. IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Commission recognized that the affected residents were still struggling and facing grave concerns, including the "health effects of radiation exposure, displacement, the dissolution of families, disruption of their lives and lifestyles and the contamination of vast areas of the environment". is unreferenced.

Taking a break at "Reactors" section. IntentionallyDense (talk) 01:55, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No adverse health effects among non-worker Fukushima residents have been documented that are directly attributable to radiation exposure from the accident, according to the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation. is very close to the source according to [1] I'd either reword this or put it in quotes.

The formatting for citations isn't consistent here. At times you use plaintext citations and othertimes you use templates. Sometimes you use RP and other times SFNs. IntentionallyDense (talk) 04:22, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
