The plant is located in the city of Satsumasendai in Kagoshima Prefecture and is operated by Kyushu Electric Power Company. It became the first nuclear plant to meet the more stringent standards introduced after the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi power plant accident. The Nuclear Regulation Authority unanimously approved the assessment on Wednesday. The document was revised based on some of the more than 17,000 public comments the authority received since it released its draft assessment in July. The draft assessment approved a plan by the operator to restart the No. 1 and No. 2 reactors at the Sendai plant. Many members of the public urged Kyushu Electric to implement stricter measures against possible earthquakes, volcanoes and serious accidents. But the authority said such factors won't affect its conclusions. “Not for Distribution, Internal Use Only”: US Energy Dept. estimated Fukushima release up to 10,000 times larger than nuclear regulators predicted — ‘Supercore’ scenario an underestimate? http://bit.ly/WUeMuK Local govts wary of nuclear plant restart Nuclear & Energy Sep. 8, 2014 - Updated 06:14 UTC-4 An NHK survey shows that more than 60 percent of local governments that host or surround a nuclear power plant are cautious about restarting idled reactors even if they meet new safety guidelines. Last month, NHK polled 146 prefectures and municipalities within a 30-kilometer radius of a nuclear power plant. The survey asked whether they will approve restarting plants nearby if authorities find they satisfy new safety requirements. About 12 percent said they will approve or hope to approve in the future, while 8 percent said they will not approve or will never approve. About 67 percent said they were undecided for now.
