AtomInfo.Ru, PUBLISHED 16.10.2024

The Japanese Nuclear Regulatory Agency has approved the extension of the life of Unit No. 1 of the Takahama nuclear power plant.

The Takahama-1 unit with a three-loop PWR reactor was first synchronized with the grid in November 1974. Thus, in November 2024, it will turn 50 years old, and it is the oldest among the active Japanese units.

The Japanese Kyodo news agency notes that this is the first time that regulators have allowed the operation of a nuclear power unit to continue after reaching the age of 50.
