establish
大間原発の建設再開は明らかな論理上の矛盾があります。地元の賛成派は、もう自然災害も、事故も二度と起きないと思っているのでしょうか...。
establishはevacuation routes （「避難経路」、「避難道」）と共起します。establishは「地固めをする」が元々の意味なので、なんとなくイメージはできます。「確保する」あたりでしょうか。（GP）
Construction resumes at Oma nuclear plant in conflict with gov't policy
OMA, Aomori -- Electric Power Development Co. (J-Power) has resumed construction of its Oma Nuclear Power Plant following a suspension of work in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, the company announced on Oct. 1.
J-Power President Masayoshi Kitamura announced the move at a special Oma town council committee meeting. It is the first time for construction of a nuclear power plant to resume since the nuclear disaster triggered by the March 11, 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami.
Completion of construction would enable the plant to run until the 2050s. This conflicts with the government's policy of abandoning nuclear plants by the end of the 2030s, and the construction is likely to stir controversy. Kitamura said the company would present a detailed construction schedule in the future.
"Government policy has provided clear stipulations on power plants under construction," he said.
Oma Mayor Mitsuharu Kanazawa said he was "very relieved" over the announcement.
Kitamura also visited the adjacent municipality of Kazamaura, where mayor Koichi Iida grilled him about evacuation in the event of a combined natural- and nuclear-plant disaster.
Hakodate, Hokkaido Prefecture, located on the coast opposite Oma and 23 kilometers away from Oma at its nearest point, is calling for an indefinite halt to the plans. Kazamaura, too, is hesitant over the resumption of construction, partly because evacuation routes have not been established.
Construction of the Oma Nuclear Power Plant began in May 2008 and 37.6 percent of the work is finished. Industrial minister Yukio Edano has said that "there will be no change" in the permission given for plants already under construction.
