(and this is not the only source)
"Nuclear reactor restarts could begin as soon as May 2015, as Kyushu Electric's Sendai Units 1 and 2 in southwestern Japan received approval to restart from the Japan's Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NRA) and local authorities in November 2014. The NRA also approved Kansai Electric's Takahama Units 3 and 4 at the end of 2014, although these units are still awaiting authorization from the local government. The timelines for restarting these units and other reactors that currently have applications pending before the NRA are uncertain in the face of more stringent regulations and, in some provinces, political opposition."
So, they MAY start as soon as May 2015, which is still 3 months from now. I don't think my 6 months is a bad prediction given the local approval that is still pending (since last November mind you). But sure, I hope I'm wrong on this. Heck I'm wrong on everything. Sure I also wish Japan would restart everything tomorrow, and that a major would start bidding next week starting at 2.50... But the odds are just against such hopes.
