40年超再稼働後、初の防災訓練 美浜3号機、30日まで―福井県
福井県は29日、運転開始から40年を超えて再稼働した関西電力美浜原発3号機(同県美浜町)で、重大事故を想定した原子力防災訓練を実施した。30日までの2日間で、住民約5000人と約100機関の1800人が参加する見込み。
訓練は、若狭湾を震源とした震度6弱の地震により外部電源を喪失し、原子炉への注水が不可能になる事態を想定。29日は災害対策本部の運営手順の確認のほか、関電が原発構内で、北陸電力が用意した電源車を使って電気を供給するなどの事故制圧訓練を行った。(2021/10/29-10:32)
Emergency Drill Held at 40-Plus-Year-Old Mihama N-Reactor
The Fukui prefectural government on Friday started a two-day emergency drill assuming a severe accident at the No. 3 reactor at Kansai Electric Power Co.'s Mihama nuclear power plant in the central Japan prefecture, which is over 40 years old and was reactivated in June this year.
A total of some 5,000 local residents and 1,800 people from about 100 institutions are expected to participate in the drill, which is carried out under the scenario that it has become impossible to inject water into the Mihama No. 3 reactor to cool it down due to a loss of external power caused by a Wakasa Bay-centered earthquake measuring lower 6 on Japan's seismic intensity scale.
The town of Mihama in Fukui, which hosts the Mihama plant, is located along the coastline of Wakasa Bay facing the Sea of Japan.
On Friday, participants checked the procedures to be taken in operating a disaster response headquarters. Kansai Electric also conducted an accident response drill inside the reactor, providing electricity using a power supply car prepared by Hokuriku Electric Power Co. .
The Mihama No. 3 reactor became the first nuclear reactor over 40 years old in Japan to be reactivated since the 2011 meltdowns at Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant. After the country's worst nuclear accident, the maximum operating period for nuclear power reactors was set at 40 years in principle through a revision of the reactor regulation law.
