NRA Approves Safety At Sendai Nuclear Plant In Kagoshima

TOKYO, JAPAN - SEPTEMBER 10: Chairman of the Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) Shunichi Tanaka (2nd R) and other members discuss on the safety measures of the Kyushu Electric Power Co's Sendai Nuclear Power Plant during a meeting on September 10, 2014 in Tokyo, Japan. The NRA's approval is the first since new safety standards were established following the Fukushima nuclear disaster in March 2011. That means safety checks have effectively been completed for a resumption of operations of the Sendai plant's No. 1 and No. 2 reactors. The resumption of reactor operations is not expected until early next year, after a mountain of paperwork, gaining the consent of local governments. (Photo by The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images)
