Reactor at Sendai Plant Reaches Criticality VERY CLOSE TO A VOLCANO THAT RECENTLY ERUPTED RESULTING IN EVACUATIONS.
Reactor at Sendai plant reaches criticality
Aug. 11, 2015 - Updated 11:07 UTC-4
A nuclear reactor has been restarted in Japan for the first time in nearly 2 years.
The No.1 reactor at the Sendai nuclear plant in Kagoshima Prefecture, southwestern Japan, is the first to go back online under the new regulations introduced after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident.
On Tuesday morning, workers in the plant's central control room operated a lever to pull out the reactor's 32 control rods.
The plant's operator, Kyushu Electric Power Company, says the reactor achieved a sustained nuclear chain reaction later on Tuesday and there's been no trouble so far.
If all goes well, the reactor is due to begin generating power on Friday. After gradually raising its output, Kyushu Electric plans to begin commercial operations in early September.
The utility says it will watch carefully for any abnormalities in the operation of the equipment, as the reactor has been kept offline for more than 4 years.
Last year, the 2 reactors at the Sendai plant cleared the new, rigorous regulations introduced after the 2011 accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. The necessary inspections were completed on Monday.
The reactor is the first to go online since September 2013, when the Ohi nuclear plant in central Japan halted operations.


No Muon for You Reactor unit 2!  TEPCO either just went through the motions of trying to find the melted fuel, or they are really just  that stupid they didn't think the whole thing through properly.

    Fukushima Fishermen to Allow Discharge Into Sea.  TEPCO has bamboozled the fishermen to believe the "safe" discharge of "decontaminated" radioactive water is necessary.  Fishermen want "compensation for RUMORS" of tainted radioactive fish.
     
Fukushima fishermen to allow discharge into sea
Aug. 11, 2015 - Updated 01:16 UTC-4
Fukushima's fisheries federation is planning to conditionally allow decontaminated underground water from the crippled nuclear power plant to be discharged into the sea.
In exchange, it has asked the government and the operator of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to take measures to prevent negative harmful rumors.
The Fukushima Prefectural Federation of Fisheries Co-operative Associations reached this decision on Tuesday after a conditional agreement by a fishermen's group in Iwaki City.
The group handed a written request to officials from the central government and TEPCO.
It is asking that strict operational standards be observed for the discharge and that the process be subject to monitoring by a third party. It also asks that compensation be paid for harmful rumors.
Tokyo Electric Power Company is planning to pump up contaminated ground water from wells near the reactor buildings, decontaminate the water, and then release it into the ocean.
This measure will be taken to deal with the 300 tons of contaminated water that is being produced at the facility every day.
But TEPCO's plan has been suspended. In February, local distrust of the operator mounted after it was found to have failed to disclose leaks of contaminated rainwater into the ocean.
The federation's chairman Tetsu Nozaki said it was a very troubling decision, but measures to deal with the contaminated water are necessary. He said they will make a final decision after receiving a response.
TEPCO's Tsunemasa Niitsuma said they appreciate the understanding of the plan, and will try to respond quickly.

    Utility Says Restart Will Improve Supply~ but only by a few percent points overall.

    Fukushima Governor Seeks Safety First.  The dude is Eager to REBUILD FUKUSHIMA prefecture like nothing happened.

    Sendai Nuclear Plant Restarted.
    Protesters Rally at Sendai Nuclear Power Plant.
    Efforts to Improve Nuclear Plant Evacuation Roads will take Years!
