Kyushu Electric Power Turns On No. 1 Reactor At Sendai NPP
The No. 1 reactor at the Sendai nuclear power plant
in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, returned to commercial operations at 10:30 a.m., local time on Tuesday, the Kyushu Electric Power Company said.
The reactivation marks the first time a reactor has been fired up in Japan in more than two years. More than four years ago, in March 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake and a follow up tsunami crippled the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant 180 miles northeast of Tokyo. The tsunami caused the damage by crippling the plant's back-up power, leading to a triple reactor meltdown that was the worst nuclear power plant disaster since 1986, when an explosion and fire caused the release of radioactive dust and debris from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine.

delicious
food rather than worrying about the food. I enjoyed the town’s
delicacy… I didn’t mind about how the beef was produced or where it came
from. As long as it is tasty, it is no problem for me. With regard to
radiation, I have become more optimistic. My hypothesis is that it’s no
use worrying about radiation. For people in Fukushima, they have a lot
to worry about their future, like damaged reputation… One reason why we have relied on nuclear plants is because we didn’t know about the facts… We need to face the facts… Rad-waste from the nuclear cycle is said to be unsolvable even after 2.5 million years.
