TEPCO submits plan to load nuclear fuel in idled reactor

These guys can’t be trusted!

Oh, the infinite ways things could go wrong.

Restarting the idled reactors is LONG OVERDUE! Get them back up and generating ASAP.

Niigata, land of rice, deliciousl sake and nuclear power plants. What a combination.

Japan will able to reduce it imports of oil.

Oil is not used for power generation except for a small amount in an emergency. Coal and gas.

Would it reduce the monthly bills of TEPCO customers?

Firing up the idle reactors will not reduce oil imports or monthly bills.

However, it will allow Japan wriggle room in dealing with Putin's Russia.

Daily, I drive past the Shiogama thermal plant. it is supplied with Russian gas that is piped down the west coast of Japan from Sakhalin. That pipeline supplies plants in Hokkaido, Tohoku and then branches off to Kansai.

If Vlad wants to he can make things very difficult or expensive for Japan, That is NOT GOOD.
