Operator to load nuclear fuel into reactor for planned 1st restart

People opposed to the restart of a nuclear reactor demonstrate in front of Kyushu Electric Power Co.'s Sendai nuclear power plant in Satsumasendai, southwestern Japan, on July 7, 2015. The utility was slated to start loading nuclear fuel into a reactor at the Sendai complex later that day ahead of its restart planned in mid-August under more rigorous safety requirements adopted after the 2011 Fukushima triple-reactor meltdowns.
