TABLE-Japan nuclear plant ops (Genkai No.4 enters turnaround)
Dec 26 (Reuters) - Kyushu Electric Power Co started planned
maintenance on the 1,180-megawatt No.4 reactor at its Genkai nuclear plant late on
Sunday, as scheduled.
It means only six reactors are now online in Japan with a capacity of 5,624 MW,
leaving just 11.5 percent of the nation's total nuclear power capacity in use.
Public fears about nuclear safety sparked by the Fukushima radiation crisis have
prompted the nation's nuclear watchdog to require utilities to conduct stress tests as a
precondition for restarting reactors stopped for routine maintenance.
But it is unclear when the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency or the government
will approve the stress test reports or when approval will be given by local authorities
for reactor restarts.
Japan, the world's third-biggest nuclear power user, has 54 reactors for commercial
use, with a total generating capacity of 48,960 MW.
In the table below, capacities are shown in megawatts. "P" represents a planned
regular inspection shutdown and "U" an unplanned shutdown.
