Shikoku Electric Power TSE:9507 restarted the 890-megawatt (MW) No.3 reactor at its Ikata nuclear power station in western Japan on Thursday after scheduled maintenance and refuelling, a company spokesperson said on Friday.
The unit had been shut since October 11.
As of Friday, Japan has 14 reactors in operation, with a combined capacity of 13,253 MW.
Many utilities are undergoing re-licensing to meet stricter safety standards implemented after the 2011 Fukushima disaster. Prior to the disaster, Japan operated a total of 54 reactors.
The table below shows the status of Japan's nuclear power plants.
The regional utilities are: Chubu Electric Power TSE:9502, Chugoku Electric Power TSE:9504, Hokkaido Electric Power TSE:9509, Hokuriku Electric Power TSE:9505, Kansai Electric Power TSE:9503, Kyushu Electric Power TSE:9508, Shikoku Electric Power TSE:9507, Tohoku Electric Power TSE:9506 and Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco) TSE:9501.
