高浜１号機、２３年６月再稼働へ　２号機は同７月―４０年超原発・関電

　関西電力は２日、運転開始から４０年を超える高浜原発１号機（福井県高浜町）を２０２３年６月に再稼働すると発表した。今年５月、原子炉に核燃料を搬入し機器の安全性を確認したが、設置を義務付けられたテロ対策施設の工事が期限に間に合わなかったことから再稼働を見送っていた。同施設は２３年５月に完成予定。同じく４０年超の高浜２号機は、同７月に再稼働する。
　高浜１、２号機のテロ対策施設の工事費用は約１７００億円に上る見込み。稼働後は１基当たり１カ月で約２５億円の収支改善効果を見込んでいる。（2021/08/02-19:08）

Kansai Electric Power Co. said Monday that it will restart the No. 1 reactor at its Takahama nuclear power plant in western Japan, which is over 40 years old, in June 2023.
   While the company had transported nuclear fuel assemblies into the reactor and confirmed the safety of devices in May this year, Kansai Electric passed over the planned restart of the nuclear reactor in the town of Takahama, Fukui Prefecture, as construction work for antiterror purposes was not finished by the deadline.
   The construction work to build an antiterrorism facility will be completed in May 2023.
   The Takahama plant's No. 2 reactor, which was also built more than 40 years ago, will be brought back online in July 2023.
   Antiterrorism facilities at the two reactors are expected to cost Kansai Electric around 170 billion yen.
