TOKYO, Aug 19 (Reuters) - Chugoku Electric Power 9504.T restarted its 820-megawatt (MW) No. 2 reactor at the Shimane nuclear power station in western Japan on August 13 following scheduled maintenance and refuelling, a company spokesperson said on Wednesday.
The reactor had been offline since February 9.
The maintenance took longer than usual because the utility collected data ahead of a special inspection required to extend the reactor's operating life beyond 40 years, the spokesperson said. The unit is scheduled to reach its 40th anniversary in February 2029.
As of Wednesday, Japan has 11 nuclear reactors in operation, with a combined capacity of 10,553 MW.
Many utilities are undergoing re-licensing to meet stricter safety standards implemented after the 2011 Fukushima disaster. Before the disaster, Japan operated a total of 54 reactors.    
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.
In the table, the companies are referred to by their regional names.
Japan Atomic Power Company (Japco), a nuclear energy company, owns two reactors.
