A Japanese court has rejected a request to revoke permits for the restart of two units of the Sendai nuclear power plant. AtomInfo.Ru, PUBLISHED 01.09.2025 A court in Japan upheld a lower court's decision rejecting a request to revoke permits for the restart of units No.1/2 of the Sendai NPP. The units were shut down after the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, but returned to operation in 2015. The plaintiffs demanded to cancel the regulators' decision to continue operation, as they allegedly "failed to properly study whether the probability of a devastating volcanic eruption was low enough." On August 27, the Fukuoka High Court confirmed that the recommendations of the Japan Nuclear Regulatory Agency for the assessment of volcanic activity in the area of the site were reasonable. In 2023, Japanese regulators agreed to the possibility of operating units No.1/2 of the Sendai NPP for up to 60 years.
