Reactors given initial OK for restart beyond 40-yr limit for 1st time

File photo taken Jan. 12, 2016, shows Kansai Electric Power Co.'s Takahama nuclear plant in Fukui Prefecture, western Japan. The Nos. 1 (R in back) and 2 (L in back) reactors of the plant gained initial approval for their restart in the first such safety clearance for reactors running beyond the government-mandated 40-year service period under new rules set after the 2011 Fukushima disaster. But it remains uncertain whether the reactors can actually resume operation. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
