Japan's Kansai to use nuclear unit for over 40 yrs
TOKYO |
TOKYO Nov 5 (Reuters) - Japan's second-biggest utility Kansai Electric Power Co (9503.T) said on Thursday it aims to continue operations at its 340-megawatt Mihama No.1 reactor, which went online in 1970, beyond November 2010.
If the move is approved, the unit would mark the second reactor in Japan to operate for more than four decades.
Kansai has no plans to build any new reactors. (Reporting by Osamu Tsukimori)
