Kansai Electric Decides To Decommission Two 1-Gigawat Reactors In Fukui

OI, JAPAN - DECEMBER 22: In this aerial image, No. 1 (bottom) and No.2 (top) reactors are seen at Kansai Electric Power Co's Oi Nuclear Power Plant on December 22, 2017 in Oi, Fukui, Japan. The utility decided that it would not be worth the effort and money to upgrade and continue operating the aging No. 1 and No. 2 reactors at the Oi nuclear plant. The No. 1 reactor, which has been offline since December 2010, and the No. 2 reactor, idle since December 2011, both turn 40 years old in 2019. (Photo by The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images)
