The Nuclear Regulation Authority, or NRA, guidelines require nuclear power plant operators to take specific actions if volcanic activity could affect operations. The actions include taking nuclear fuel out of the facilities. The NRA approved a draft safety plan to restart two reactors at the Sendai Nuclear Power Plant which is located about 50 kilometers from an active volcano, Mt. Sakurajima, in Kagoshima Prefecture, southwestern Japan. The plant operated by the Kyushu Electric Power Company. On Monday, the regulator held its first meeting with volcanologists. They discussed volcanic surveillance and criteria for determining eruption levels. Volcano experts are raising doubts about the NRA's safety measures in dealing with eruptions. One scientist said there is usually advance warning of major eruptions. But he says it takes years to remove nuclear fuel and this would not leave enough time for removal. Another cited the absence of standards for determining what kind of phenomena indicate the possibility of a major volcanic eruption. NRA Commissioner Kunihiko Shimazaki expressed his intention to undertake safety measures with a major eruption in mind. NRA officials said the views of experts will be reflected in the safety measures. The officials added that Kyushu Electric will likely be required to undertake additional safety measures to restart its reactors at the Sendai plant.

The survey shows the United States accounts for about one-third of the total, with about 412,000. It's followed by China's estimated 135,000 and Australia's 81,000.
