First Japanese nuclear plant cleared for restart

摘要

The first Japanese nuclear plant to permanently restart after the country's Fukushima and tidal wave disaster of March 2011 is set to do so in October, following approval to do so from Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA). Kyushu's Sendai nuclear power plant has been given the approval following its adherence to upgraded safety requirements for reactors in Japan, published in July last year. World Nuclear News described the development as a major step towards the reactor returning to service.
