Fukui Gov. Issei Nishikawa gave the go-ahead Nov. 27 for Kansai Electric Power Co. to restart two reactors at its Oi power plant.

With Fukui also hosting Kansai Electric's Takahama plant, where two reactors have already resumed operation, restarting the units at the Oi complex would make the prefecture the first since the 2011 Fukushima crisis to have two active nuclear power plants.

The utility hopes to bring the Oi plant's No. 3 reactor back online in mid-January and the No. 4 reactor in mid-March. (Kyodo)
