JRR-3M Research Reactor Back Online After Fukushima Upgrades :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency

JRR-3M Research Reactor Back Online After Fukushima Upgrades :: The Independent Global Nuclear News Agency: The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has resumed operation of its JRR-3M research reactor near Tokai in Ibaraki Prefecture, north of Tokyo in eastern Japan.

In November 2018, after four years of safety examinations by the Nuclear Regulation Authority, JAEA was given approval to carry out work at the facility to make sure it met new regulatory standards introduced after the March 2011 Fukushima-Daichi accident. The facility had been shut down for a periodic inspection in 2010 and was never restarted.
