As a resource-scarce country, Japan has relied on nuclear energy to supply 25% of its electricity. The Japanese government has restarted two reactors to temporarily meet demand. However, both kilns failed in September 2013, interrupting the power supply for a long time.

Japan has issued stricter safety regulations to avoid repeating the Fukushima disaster , including higher preventive measures and higher barrier walls in vulnerable areas.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's cabinet attaches great importance to bringing back about 50 nuclear reactors. Electricity producers also expressed interest in this plan due to the cost of using fossil fuels to ensure too much electricity generation.

" It is important for the government to restart the reactor after confirming the safety. The biggest priority is still safety ," quoted Yahoo on August 9, Yoshihide Suga, the transmitter. High-level language of the Japanese government.

The No.1 reactor at the Sendai nuclear power plant , nearly 1,000 kilometers southwest of Tokyo, was filled with nuclear fuel. As expected, this 31-year-old reactor will reach its maximum capacity at 11 pm today and generate electricity on August 14. But normal activities only start after September.

Some other approved reactors operate again under stricter safety regulations than during the pre-Fukushima disaster period, the worst nuclear incident after the Cherbonyl disaster in Ukraine in 1986. .
