The Japanese Government wants to reactivate nuclear facilities by the end of the year

The Japanese Government received the green light to nuclear power regulators to end the period "nuclear zero" which was enacted following the radioactive disaster occurred in central Fukushima Prefecture, in 2011. The objectives of the Government led by Shinzo Abe are now for two reactors Sendai Center into operation before the end of 2014.

However, the regulator has indicated that for the reentrem reactors into operation it is necessary that the operator can convince local population Center that the resumption of nuclear production is safe. But the task won't be easy, since the Japanese public opinion is now aware of the dangers inherent to nuclear energy and stands strongly against reactivation of reactors from various country's core.

Although the Government aims to pass by the reactivation of the reactors before the end of the year, this will be unlikely. The Kyushu Electric Power, the company that operates the Sendai plant, still lacks to complete some legal and security with the nuclear regulator, referred to Inhabitat.

Sendai Center was the first to submit to the Governor the new additional measures of security, which aim to reduce the impact of earthquakes and tsunamis in reactors. In total, has been asked to reactivation of 20 nuclear reactors in 10 distinct plants.
