Japan Restarts First Nuclear Plant Since Fukushima Disaster
In Japan one of the nuclear reactors’ restarted on Tuesday. The central Sendai 1, is the first to be restarted since the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011. This was reported by AP news agency.
Kyushu Electric Power Co. said on Tuesday that the central started as planned and without any problems. The company expects to be able to deliver energy from the power plant within two or three days.
The energy company will also be commissioning a second reactor at the complex this year.
Prior to the restart of Sendai a few hundred people protested outside. They are not convinced with the tightened safety requirements. They fear a new disaster.
According to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japan must quickly get energy from the plants to keep the economy going. The closure of nuclear reactors forced Japan to import fossil fuels for money.
The disaster in Fukushima in 2011, caused by an earthquake and a tsunami, the radioactivesubstances were released after the meltdown.
After the disaster, all 43 operating nuclear plants were closed in the country. The disaster in 2011 caused 160.000 people to leave their homes.
