Utility Shuts Down Second Sendai Unit After Failure To Meet Upgrade Schedule :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

Utility Shuts Down Second Sendai Unit After Failure To Meet Upgrade Schedule :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: Kyushu Electric Power Company has temporarily shut down Unit 2 at its Sendai nuclear power station in southern Japan because it will miss the regulator’s deadline to implement anti-terrorism measures.



Sendai-2 went offline ahead of a 21 May deadline for the completion of anti-terrorism steps, which were introduced as part of revised safety measures following the March 2011 Fukushima-Daichi accident.



The utility aims to bring the reactor back online on 26 January 2021 after making the required changes to facilities and undertaking regular safety inspections.
