                Nuclear reactor in Shimane prefecture passes safety screening: it sits in Japan’s sole nuclear plant in a prefectural capital

                The Nuclear Regulation Authority held a regular meeting on Sept. 15 and decided to certify that safety measures taken at the No. 2 unit of Chugoku Electric Power Co.'s nuclear plant in the Shimane prefectural capital of Matsue meet Japan’s new regulatory standards, formally granting safety approval for a restart to the reactor. It is the 17th reactor in a total of 10 nuclear plants across the country cleared by the NRA. The No. 2 unit is a boiling water reactor, the same type as those installed at the disaster-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. It is the fifth boiling water reactor among such reactors at four nuclear plants that have passed the NRA’s safety screenings. The Shimane nuclear plant is the only one located in a Japanese prefectural capital, raising concern about the evacuation of residents in case of an accident. ==Date: Sept. 11, 2021, Place: Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, JAPAN
