Japan reboots nuclear reactor after 2-yr lull despite safety concern

A worker in the main control room of Kyushu Electric Power Co.'s Sendai nuclear plant in Satsumasendai, southwestern Japan, points at the display board that shows the control rods being pulled out on Aug. 11, 2015, for the resumption of the No. 1 reactor. The reactor became the first to resume operations since all the country's commercial reactors went offline by September 2013, following the tsunami-triggered Fukushima nuclear disaster in March 2011.
