2 reactors at Takahama plant

File photo taken Jan. 12, 2016, shows the Nos. 1 and 2 (R and L) reactors of Kansai Electric Power Co.'s Takahama nuclear plant on the Sea of Japan coast. Oral arguments began on July 13 at the Nagoya District Court in a lawsuit filed by a group of people seeking to nullify a decision by the Nuclear Regulation Authority approving an additional 20 years of operation for the two aging reactors. The extension would put them beyond the government-mandated 40-year service period. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
