Kyushu Electric Plans Commercial Restart of Reactor From August

By Masumi Sugaand Emi Urabe

(Bloomberg) -- Japan could begin the process of restarting some of its nuclear power plants this summer after Kyushu Electric Power Co. submitted a plan to switch on one of its reactors.

Kyushu Electric, which provides power to the cities of Osaka and Kyoto among others in western Japan, has sent a proposal to the regulator to restart commercial operations at its Sendai No. 1 reactor in August, officials from the utility said at a press conference in Tokyo.

It would be the first atomic plant to begin operating under tougher safety rules established by the Nuclear Regulation Authority. The agency was set up after an earthquake and tsunami in March 2011 caused the meltdown of three reactors at the Fukushima nuclear plant on the Pacific coast north of Tokyo.

The utility received final local approval for restarting the Sendai plant in November. Japan’s operable commercial fleet of 48 reactors was shuttered for maintenance or safety checks following the Fukushima disaster. All have been offline since September 2013.
