女川原発、１３年ぶり発送電再開　来月中に営業運転へ―東北電

　東北電力は１５日、計測器トラブルで停止後に再稼働した女川原発２号機（宮城県、出力８２．５万キロワット）で、午後６時に発電を再開したと発表した。２０１１年３月の東日本大震災以来、約１３年８カ月ぶりに同原発から一般家庭や企業への送電が開始された。
　原子炉の出力を徐々に上げながら稼働状況を確認する「調整運転」を行った後、設備点検のためにいったん停止。本格的な営業運転開始は１２月中を見込む。約７０％の出力で１年間運転した場合の発電量は、一般家庭約１６２万世帯分に相当すると試算している。（2024/11/15-20:09）

Tohoku Electric Power Co. said Friday that a reactor at its Onagawa nuclear plant in Miyagi Prefecture, northeastern Japan, has resumed power generation for the first time since the Fukushima nuclear accident in March 2011.
   The Onagawa No. 2 reactor restarted power generation at 6 p.m. Friday. After an adjustment operation to check its operating condition while gradually increasing output, the reactor will be temporarily halted for equipment checks. It is expected to start full commercial operation in December.
   The 825,000-kilowatt reactor, if operated at about 70 pct of its capacity for one year, is estimated to generate electricity equivalent to the power consumption of 1.62 million households, according to Tohoku Electric.
   The reactor was reactivated on Oct. 29, but was suspended on Nov. 4 due to a problem with a guide pipe for sending a measuring device into the reactor. After the problem was fixed, the reactor was restarted again on Wednesday.
   The three reactors at the Onagawa plant are of the same boiling water type as those at Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, where the country's worst nuclear accident was triggered by the massive earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011.
