Kansai Electric Power Co., one of Japan’s regional power utilities, will halt two reactors at its Takahama nuclear power plant north of Osaka because they’re unlikely to meet the government’s anti-terrorism requirements, according to the Mainichi newspaper.
Reactors No. 3 and No. 4 will stop operating from next summer, as it has become clear that construction of security measures won’t be completed in time for their respective deadlines in August and October, the report said, without citing anyone. The work is behind by about a year, it said.
