Additionally, the Genkai-3, along with the Kansai-EP\u2019s Takahama-3 and -4 and the Ikata-3 of the Shikoku Electric Power Co.\u2014the latter three of which had previously been restarted\u2014are partially using mixed uranium-plutonium oxide (MOX) fuel.<\/p>\n
Despite the long time needed for the new regulatory inspections to be carried out, I wish to pay my respects again here to the regulators and nuclear operators for their response to them, having conducted them safely and without making any compromises.<\/p>\n
Kansai-EP has already successfully restarted the Takahama-3 and -4 NPPs, and Kyushu Electric Power the Sendai-1 and -2 NPPs, and I hope that the two power companies will use those experiences as a foundation toward the safe and steady resumption of operations at the two recently restarted reactors, as doing so will contribute to a more stable power supply for Japan as well as reduced CO2 emissions.<\/p>\n
It is through the accumulation of such positive achievements that the Japanese people will come to deepen their understanding of the value of nuclear power. I look forward to smooth progress being attained by the inspections currently being conducted at other NPPs, ultimately aiming toward their swift and early restart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
