The power station went operational in May 1973 and is owned by Kansai Electric Power Company. Context_7 : The Takahama Nuclear Power Plant ( , Takahama genshiryoku hatsudensho , Takahama NPP) is a nuclear power plant located in the town of Takahama, Oi District, Fukui Prefecture. It is owned and operated by the Kansai Electric Power Company. It is on a site with an area of about 1km. The four pressurized water reactors give the plant a total gross electric capacity of 3,392 MW and average yearly production of 22,638 GWh (averaged on 2006-2010 data). From 2012 to 2016 only reactor 3 was operating, generating power in 2012 and again in 2016, for an average annual production of the plant of 369.6GWh. Context_8 : Kobe ( , Kobe-shi , ]) is the sixth-largest city in Japan and is the capital city of Hyogo Prefecture.
