Shimane: No2 reactor halted for inspection
The No2 reactor of the Shimane nuclear power plant operated by the Chugoku Electric power company has been halted for the routine inspection on January 27. Now only 3 out of 54 nuclear reactors are in operation in Japan.
Chugoku Electric has been working on the mandate stress tests of the already inspected previously halted No1 reactor, however, there is no outlook in resuming operation since both Shimane prefecture and Matsue city claim that there isn’t a sufficient verification of the Fukushima Daiichi accident from the government or the residents’ understanding.
The power company has been constructing the third reactor, which was to be the largest capacity power generator up to 1.37 million kW, at the Shimane plant, but its operation has been postponed indefinitely due to the Fukushima accident.
Currently 94% of all nuclear reactors in Japan are halted.
