Kansai Electric Power Co has applied to Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) to continue operating the 826 MWe pressurised water reactor at unit 1 at its Takahama NPP in Fukui Prefecture after it reaches 50 years of operation in November 2024. Kansai Electric has submitted changes to the plant's safety regulations, including plans for the inspection and maintenance of the reactor for the next 10 years.
