It was found that Governor Maruyama of Shimane Prefecture will announce his intention to restart the Shimane Nuclear Power Station Unit 2 in Matsue City, which is the only prefectural capital in Japan, at the prefectural assembly on the 2nd.
This will give you all the consent of the local government needed to restart.
Shimane Nuclear Power Station Unit 2 in Matsue City passed the new regulatory standards of the Nuclear Regulation Authority last year, and the mayor of Matsue City announced in February that it would agree to restart based on a safety agreement with Chugoku Electric Power Co., Inc. I am.
Governor Maruyama of Shimane Prefecture has not made a decision on the consent of the local government required for the restart, but it is NHK's interview that he will express his intention to agree to the restart at the plenary session of the prefectural assembly to be held on the 2nd. I understand.
In addition to Matsue City, the local government, it seems that other local governments within 30 km from the nuclear power plant have made a comprehensive judgment that they are willing to allow the restart, and this is the result of the local government's decision based on the safety agreement. You will have all the consent.
Shimane Nuclear Power Station Unit 2, which is the only one in Japan where the prefectural office is located, has a population of more than 450,000 within 30 km from the nuclear power plant, which is the third largest among all nuclear power plants in Japan. We have established an evacuation plan in which residents evacuate to Hiroshima and Okayama prefectures over a wide area.
In the future, how to improve the effectiveness of wide-area evacuation will be a major issue.
