November Learning Session "Reasons for Not Restarting Aging Nuclear Power Plant" in Saturday, November 6th

The Tokai No. 2 nuclear power plant has passed its forty year service life, but is trying to restart the plant by extending it by twenty years. What is dangerous in aging nuclear power plants? Let’s learn together.
