Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) has approved Kansai Electric Power Co.'s plan to continue operating two nuclear reactors in Fukui Prefecture for up to 40 years. This is the first approval under a new regulatory system based on the green transformation law, which allows reactors to operate for longer than 60 years without counting periods of suspension. The reactors, No. 3 and No. 4 at the Oi plant, have both been operating for over 30 years and will now be able to operate until 2031 and 2033.
