川内原発１号機が運転停止　テロ対策施設の完成遅れ―九州電力

　九州電力の川内原発１号機（出力８９万キロワット、鹿児島県薩摩川内市）は１６日、テロ対策施設「特定重大事故等対処施設」（特重施設）の建設が期限に間に合わないため、原子炉を停止した。発電再開は１２月下旬の見通しで、特重施設の完成遅れによる原発停止は初めて。
　九電によると、１６日午前２時半から原発の出力を下げ、午前９時に発電を停止。午後１時ごろ原子炉を停止した。停止後は定期検査に入るとともに、緊急時制御室など特重施設の完成を目指す。（2020/03/16-13:38）

Kyushu Electric Power Co. on Monday suspended a nuclear reactor as work to build facilities to be used in the event of terror attacks will not be completed within a deadline.
   It was the first time for a nuclear reactor in Japan to be halted due to a delay in the construction of such facilities.
   The No. 1 reactor at the firm's Sendai nuclear plant in Kagoshima Prefecture, southwestern Japan, is now scheduled to resume power generation late December this year.
   Kyushu Electric started to reduce power output at the No. 1 reactor at 2:30 a.m. Monday (5:30 p.m. Sunday GMT). Power generation was brought to a halt at 9 a.m., and the reactor was shut down at around 1 p.m., according to the company.
   During the suspension, Kyushu Electric will conduct routine inspections of the reactor while aiming to complete the construction of the antiterrorism facilities, including an emergency control room.
