TOKYO, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Tohoku Electric Power 9506.T
on Thursday restarted the 825 megawatt (MW) No. 2 reactor at its
Onagawa nuclear power plant in northern Japan after completing
safety inspections of facilities and equipment, the company
said.
The reactor temporarily halted operations on Nov. 24 as
planned to ensure the safety of facilities and equipment.
With the restart, Japan has 12 operating reactors with a
total capacity of 11,607 MW.
Many companies are still going through a re-licensing
process to comply with stricter safety standards imposed after
the 2011 Fukushima disaster. The companies had 54 operational
reactors before it.
The table below shows the status of Japan's nuclear power
plants.
The regional utilities are: Chubu Electric Power 9502.T ,
Chugoku Electric Power 9504.T , Hokkaido Electric Power
9509.T , Hokuriku Electric Power 9505.T , Kansai Electric
Power 9503.T , Kyushu Electric Power 9508.T , Shikoku Electric
Power 9507.T , Tohoku Electric Power 9506.T and Tokyo
Electric Power (Tepco) 9501.T .
They are referred to in the table by their regional names.
Japan Atomic Power Company (Japco), a nuclear energy
company, owns two reactors.
