Nov. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Kansai Electric Power Co., Japan's second-largest utility, shut two reactors at its Mihama nuclear plant after transmission wires were struck by lightning.
Repair work at the plant in the western prefecture of Fukui may take ``several days,'' spokesman Kimihito Kawabata said by phone from Osaka.
The company shut the 340-megawatt No.1 reactor at 5:03 a.m. and the 500-megawatt No. 2 reactor at 4:59 a.m., he said. The No. 3 reactor, which can generate 826 megawatts, is operating normally.
