Table: Japan nuclear operations: Shikoku Elec restarts Ikata No.3 reactor

TOKYO, Oct 18 (Reuters) - Shikoku Electric Power
 9507.T  has restarted the 890 megawatt(MW) No.3 reactor in
western Japan on Oct. 16 after fixing a glitch in the equipment
used to monitor fuel combustion, a company spokesperson said on
Friday.
    The reactor was shut down on Oct. 7 due to a malfunction in
the equipment. The utility had restarted the reactor on Sept. 29
following planned maintenance, which started on July 19.
    Separately, Kansai Electric Power  9503.T  shut down the
826-MW No.3 reactor at its Mihama nuclear power station in
western Japan on Oct. 15, due to small holes found in a
pipeline, a company spokesperson said.
    The utility said last week that it would shut the Mihama
reactor, without giving a specific timing, after discovering two
small holes in the pipe used to release water from the cooling
system to the sea.
    "No decision has been made on the timing of restart as we
are still investigating the cause of the holes and how to repair
the problem," the spokesperson said. 
    As of Thursday, Japan has 11 operating reactors with a total
capacity of 10,782 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.
