A Japanese nuclear reactor at the Onagawa power plant, which survived the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that devastated the Fukushima plant, has been restarted for the first time since the disaster. The No. 2 reactor at the Onagawa plant, located on Japan's northern coast, is set to begin generating power in early November following a safety upgrade by operator Tohoku Electric Power Co.
The Onagawa plant, situated 100 kilometers north of the Fukushima Daiichi plant, managed to withstand a 13-meter tsunami post the 2011 disaster and maintained the functionality of its cooling systems in all three reactors, ensuring safe shutdowns.
