Table: Japan nuclear reactor operations: Kyushu Elec shuts Genkai No.4 unit

TOKYO, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Kyushu Electric Power Co  9508.T 
has shut the No.4 reactor at its Genkai nuclear power plant in
southwestern Japan for maintenance, including mandatory upgrades
to protect against attacks and serious accidents, a spokesperson
said on Tuesday. 
    The utility shut the 1,180 megawatt (MW) reactor on Monday,
with a plan to resume operations in mid-February next year. 
    Japan adopted stricter security rules after the 2011
Fukushima nuclear power disaster.
    The company's No.3 reactor at Genkai is also going through
upgrades and is due to be back online in mid-January.
    With the shutdown, Japan has six operating reactors with a
capacity of 5,546 MW. 
    Many of Japan's reactors are still going through a
relicensing process under safety standards imposed after the
Fukushima disaster.  
    Nine regional power utilities and a wholesaler, Japan Atomic
Power Co (Japco), now have 33 reactors available for commercial
use, with combined generating capacity of 33,083 MW. 
    The companies had 54 reactors operating before the Fukushima
disaster.
    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
