Sendai Nuclear Power Station

Japan's Kyushu Electric Power said today it has delayed the restart of its Sendai nuclear plant in southwestern Japan, the first to be brought back into service under new rules introduced after the 2011 Fukushima disaster.

A Japanese court has approved the restart of Kyushu Electric Power's Sendai nuclear power station, plaintiffs said on Wednesday, rejecting a legal bid to halt the process by residents worried about the safety of the plant.
