Operator may scrap 2 old nuclear reactors at Oi plant

File photo taken in May 18, 2017, shows Nos. 1 and 2 reactors of the Oi power plant in Fukui Prefecture, central Japan. The plant's operator Kansai Electric Power Co. is thinking of scrapping two aging reactors at the complex as it may be too costly to upgrade equipment to meet new post-Fukushima crisis safety standards, a source close to the matter said Oct. 17.
