高浜１、２号機再稼働延期へ　作業員死亡事故で工期見直し

　関西電力は３１日、高浜原発１、２号機（福井県）と美浜原発３号機（同県）の安全対策工事の完了時期が最大で４カ月遅れると発表した。高浜原発敷地内で起きた作業員の死亡事故を受け、工期を見直した。各原発の再稼働は遅れる見通しで、全体で約３６０億円の減益要因になるという。
　関電によると、工事完了時期は、高浜１号機が５月から９月、２号機は来年１月から４月に変更。美浜３号機も今年７月から９月に延期した。それぞれ工事終了後、早ければ１カ月程度で再稼働すると見込まれている。（2020/03/31-16:53）

Kansai Electric Power Co. said Tuesday the restart of operations of three nuclear reactors in Fukui Prefecture will be delayed for months.
   According to the power supplier for the Kansai region, western Japan, work to implement safety measures for the No. 1 and No. 2 reactors at the Takahama nuclear power plant and the No. 3 unit at the Mihama plant, all in the central prefecture, was pushed back by up to four months due to changes in work schedules after a fatal accident at the Takahama plant.
   The delays are expected to cost Kansai Electric some 36 billion yen.
   For the Takahama No. 1 and No. 2 units, the company put off the scheduled completion of work from May to September and from January 2021 to April the same year, respectively.
   The Mihama reactor's work, initially set to end in July this year, will continue until September.
