TOKYO, Jan 19 (Reuters) - Japan's Kansai Electric Power Co
Inc has restarted the No. 4 reactor at its Ohi nuclear
plant in western Japan after completing scheduled maintenance
and refuelling, a spokesman said on Tuesday.
The utility began booting up the 1,180-megawatt (MW) reactor
on Jan. 15 after having been shut for regular maintenance since
Nov. 3, the spokesman said via phone.
The Osaka district court in December revoked the operating
permit for Ohi's No.3 and No.4 reactors, claiming they were
vulnerable to major earthquakes, but the government, which had
granted the permit, has filed an appeal to overturn the ruling.
The ruling by the district court does not take effect until
the final ruling is made, enabling Kansai Electric to keep
operating those reactors until then, according to an official at
the Nuclear Regulation Authority.
Kansai Electric has had no operating reactors since early
November.
With the restart, Japan now has four operating nuclear
reactors with a total capacity of 4,140 MW. Many reactors are
still going through a re-licensing process under the latest
safety standards imposed after the 2011 Fukushima disaster.
Nine regional power utilities and a wholesaler, Japan Atomic
Power Co (Japco), now have 33 reactors available for commercial
use, with a combined generating capacity of 33,083 MW. The
companies had 54 reactors operating before the Fukushima
disaster.
The table below shows the status of Japan's nuclear power
plants. The regional utilities are Hokkaido Electric Power
, Tohoku Electric Power, Tokyo Electric Power
, Chubu Electric Power, Hokuriku Electric Power
, Kansai Electric Power, Chugoku Electric Power
, Shikoku Electric Power, Kyushu Electric Power
