Kyushu Electric begins putting nuclear fuel in 2nd reactor for restart
September 11, 2015 (Mainichi Japan)

TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Kyushu Electric Power Co. said Friday it began loading nuclear fuel into the second reactor at its Sendai station in southwestern Japan, moving a step closer to its restart planned for mid-October under upgraded safety regulations adopted following the 2011 Fukushima meltdowns.

The No. 2 reactor at the two-unit plant will become the second to be restarted in Japan since the post-Fukushima safety requirements came into force. Kyushu Electric reactivated the No. 1 unit at the complex on Aug. 11, which marked the revival of nuclear power generation in the country after a two-year hiatus.

On Friday, the utility launched operations to insert a total of 157 fuel rod assemblies into the No. 2 reactor. The work is expected to take about four days.
