Regulators unveil draft report for restart of Kyushu nuclear plant

TOKYO, Japan - People stage a rally on July 16, 2014, in front of a Tokyo building where the Nuclear Regulation Agency is housed calling for Kyushu Electric Power Co.'s Sendai nuclear plant to remain idled. The plant in Satsumasendai in the southwestern prefecture of Kagoshima will be the first nuclear complex to meet a new set of safety standards, introduced in July last year, if the regulators' safety screening report is finalized following a month-long public consultation period.
