This decision makes them the 7th and 8th reactors in Japan approved for extensions beyond 40 years of operation. Both reactors located in Fukui Prefecture are currently online and will reach their 40th anniversary in early 2025.
Kansai Electric Power Co., the operator of the Takahama plant, applied for the extensions in April 2023 after conducting special inspections. The extensions are part of Japan's broader strategy to maintain nuclear power as a key component of its energy mix.
