Safety measures work for Onagawa nuclear power plant completed two years later at 18:30 on April 30, Tohoku Electric Power
Tohoku Electric Power Co., Inc. announced that the completion of the safety measures for the Onagawa Nuclear Power Station Unit 2 will be extended from the initially scheduled this year to 2022.
In February, Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant No. 2 passed the examination by the Nuclear Regulation Authority required for restart, and Tohoku Electric Power was considering the safety construction process again.
As a result, we decided to install a new pump to prevent the rise of groundwater on the site, and to change some parts of the protective net to prevent damage to the seawater pump from flying objects caused by tornadoes. The company announced that it will postpone the completion of this year to 2022, saying that construction cannot be done at the same time due to site restrictions. The cost of construction remains unchanged at about 340 billion yen.
In addition, it is said that there is no impact on the construction work due to the spread of the new coronavirus.
* Kojiro Higuchi, President of Tohoku Electric Power Co., said, "It will be two years until the completion of the construction, but the economic efficiency of the nuclear power plant will not be lost. I am.
* "Grain" is one point for Shinshin.
