Power goes out for 1 minute at Oi nuclear plant

Power went out Wednesday for one minute at the No. 3 reactor of Kansai Electric Power Co.'s Oi nuclear power plant in Fukui Prefecture, but the outage did not affect the reactor's operation or cause negative impact outside the facility, the plant operator said.

The utility said it believes part of the internal power supply at the reactor building was cut at around 2:30 p.m. as a trainee touched the circuit breaker by mistake. The Nos. 3 and 4 units at the Oi plant are the only reactors currently in operation in Japan in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear crisis in 2011.
