Japan Utilities to Scrap 2 More Nuclear Reactors ("small ones") and are to RESTART MORE Bigger ones

Japan utilities to scrap 2 more nuclear reactors
Mar. 18, 2015 - Updated 01:25 UTC-4
Two Japanese utilities plan to scrap one nuclear reactor each, as they are near the government recommended 40-year age limit.
This brings the number of reactors in the country slated for decommissioning after the 2011 nuclear disaster to 5, in addition to those at the crippled Fukushima Daiichi plant.
Board members of the Kyushu Electric Power Company decided on Wednesday to decommission the No.1 reactor at their Genkai plant in Saga Prefecture.
The board of Chugoku Electric Power Company decided the same day to scrap the No.1 reactor at their plant in Shimane Prefecture.
Both reactors are relatively smaller in capacity and considered not worth the costs of upgrading.
Government regulations introduced after the accident at Fukushima Daiichi 4 years ago require costly safety improvements before utilities can restart reactors.
All nuclear reactors in Japan remain offline.

A reactor to be inspected under new regulations
Mar. 18, 2015 - Updated 00:11 UTC-4
The operator of a nuclear power plant in Satsuma Sendai, southwestern Japan, may be able to restart one of its reactors as early as June.
On Wednesday, Kyushu Electric Power Company obtained approval from the Nuclear Regulation Authority of its equipment design documents for the Number 1 reactor. The documents involve an assessment of the earthquake resistance of the facilities and equipment.
As a result, the utility is expected to apply for an onsite NRA inspection as soon as Thursday.
Referring to the inspection, NRA Chairman Shunichi Tanaka said there is still important work to be done before the reactor can resume operation.
He suggested that both the regulators and the utility be well prepared, as the inspection will cover many new facilities and require detailed checks.
The inspection is expected to take around 2 months, including preparation. It may take longer, since the reactor has been idle for a long time.
Last September, the plant's Number 1 and 2 reactors became the first in Japan to clear the new, tougher regulations introduced after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident.
Kyushu Electric has yet to submit documents on the designs of an emergency power generator and equipment shared with the Number 2 reactor. The operator will likely present the documents in April.
All of Japan's nuclear reactors are currently offline.
