Fukushima Daini nuke plant fate depends on gov't policy

FUKUSHIMA, Japan - Yoshiyuki Ishizaki, head of Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima office, speaks during an interview with Kyodo News on Dec. 16, 2014, in Fukushima, northeastern Japan. Ishizaki said whether the four reactors at the Fukushima Daini nuclear power plant, about 12 kilometers south of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi plant, will be decommissioned as called for by the Fukushima prefectural government will depend on the central government's decision on the country's nuclear energy policy.

    Kashiwazaki Mayor Sakurai receives a proposal from TEPCO to decommission the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station.

    Masahiro Sakurai, the mayor of Kashiwazaki City in Niigata Prefecture, said on April 19 that the decommissioning plan for the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Station submitted by Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) Holdings, Inc. In August, the company announced its intention to decide on a policy of decommissioning one or more nuclear reactors within five years if it were to resume operations of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa No. 6 and No. 7 reactors and secure a non-fossil power source ratio of more than 40%, combining renewable energy and nuclear power. Although the reactors passed the government's safety inspection in December 2017, Niigata Governor Hideyo Hanazumi has said that he will not discuss restarting the reactors until the results of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident Verification Commission's review are available.
