大飯原発訴訟、国が控訴　設置許可取り消し判決で

　関西電力大飯原発３、４号機（福井県）について、想定される地震の揺れ（基準地震動）が過小評価されているとして、同県などの住民が原子力規制委員会による設置変更許可処分の取り消しを求めた訴訟で、国は１７日、処分を取り消した大阪地裁判決を不服として、大阪高裁に控訴した。
　４日の地裁判決は、想定の地震規模に関し、平均値より大きくなる「ばらつき」を考慮しなかった規制委の判断過程に「看過しがたい過誤、欠落がある」と指摘し、処分は違法と結論付けた。関電は国側の参加人として訴訟に関わった。（2020/12/17-13:33）

The Japanese government on Thursday appealed to Osaka High Court against Osaka District Court's ruling nullifying the Nuclear Regulation Authority's restart approval for two reactors at Kansai Electric Power Co.'s Oi nuclear plant in central Japan.
   In the lawsuit, local residents and others, claiming that there are problems with earthquake resistance for the plant's No. 3 and No. 4 reactors, called for the cancellation of the NRA's judgment concluding that the facilities meet safety levels required by law for restarts. The plant is located in Fukui Prefecture.
   In its ruling on Dec. 4, the district court pointed out that there were errors and omissions that could not be overlooked in the decision-making process of the regulatory commission, concluding that the approval was illegal.
   Kansai Electric was involved in the lawsuit as an intervener for the central government.
