TOKYO, April 16 (Reuters) - Kyushu Electric Power 9508.T shut the 1,180 megawatt (MW) No.3 reactor at its Genkai nuclear power station in southern Japan on March 28 for scheduled maintenance and refuelling, a company spokesperson said on Wednesday.

The utility plans to restart the reactor in early June, the spokesperson said.

As of Wednesday, Japan has 11 reactors in operation, with a combined capacity of 10,377 MW.

Many companies are undergoing a re-licensing process to meet stricter safety standards implemented after the 2011 Fukushima disaster. Prior to the disaster, they operated 54 reactors.

Other closures over recent weeks include Kansai Electric Power's 9503.T shutting of the 870 MW No.3 reactor at its Takahama nuclear power station in western Japan on February 22 for scheduled maintenance, also with plans to restart in early June, a company spokesperson said.

Kansai additionally shut the 826 MW No. 3 reactor at its Mihama nuclear power station in western Japan on March 2 for scheduled turnaround, with a restart planned for late May, the spokesperson added.

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.
