Changes to safety regulations for Takahama Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 approved， making it the first nuclear power plant in Japan to operate for over 50 years．
Takahama Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 approved for change to “safety regulations” to become the first in Japan to operate for over 50 years | NHK | Nuclear power plants around the country October 16, 2024 12:00 Ahead of the 50th anniversary of the start of operation of Kansai Electric Power’s Takahama Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 in Fukui Prefecture, the oldest nuclear power plant operating in Japan, in November, the Nuclear Regulation Authority has approved a change to the “safety regulations” that includes the management policy for facilities necessary for operation beyond 50 years. Takahama Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1, which began operation in 1974, is the oldest nuclear power plant still in operation in Japan, and will mark 50 years of operation on November 14th. Although operation can be extended for up to 60 years, operation beyond 50 years requires the formulation of a management policy that takes into account the deterioration of the facility, and Kansai Electric Power Co. has applied to the Nuclear Regulation Authority for a change to its “safety regulations” to include this policy. At the regular meeting of the regulatory commission held on the 16th, (omitted) *See source for full text.
Even the European Union has certified nuclear power as green (ecological, decarbonized). The era of playing around with renewable energy is over! Restart nuclear power plants! Uranium can be extracted from Ningyo Pass, and Japan also has the technology to extract uranium from seawater, at an extremely low price. We should build truck-mounted small modular reactors and float reactors, float them in Tokyo Bay, Osaka Bay, the Seto Inland Sea, the Ariake Sea, Lake Kasumigaura, Lake Hamana, Lake Biwa, and Lake Shinji, and disperse them into meshes. If marine float reactors also double as nuclear submarines, it would kill two birds with one stone, or rather kill two birds with one ship, and strengthen the military!
Well, in the case of an accident, it’s okay if you get a little bit of radiation. People at Doenen who were exposed to 1 sievert were saved through surgery, and even the sun is radiation.
Speaking of Takahama Nuclear Power Plant, it is a dark place where the deputy mayor forced Kansai Electric Power Company to give it as a gift, using Burakumin as an excuse.
Japan is the country with the most earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other natural disasters in the world, so a nuclear power plant would be suicidal.
Kansai Electric Power Shuts Down Mihama Nuclear Power Plant Unit 3 10/15 (Tue) 20:22 Kansai Electric Power announced on the 15th that it had shut down the operation of Mihama Nuclear Power Plant Unit 3 (Mihama-cho, Fukui Prefecture) at around 7:20 pm on the same day. A hole was found in the piping used to cool pumps and other equipment inside the reactor vessel, and KEPCO will replace the piping after shutting down the reactor and investigate the exact cause. There is no impact on the environment, such as radiation leakage. On the 10th, KEPCO announced that two holes measuring approximately 6 mm and 3 mm in diameter had been found in the pipes. The company had indicated it would shut down the plant, as some areas had pipes that were below the thickness required for safe operation.
