The operator of the Sendai nuclear power plant in southwestern Japan says work to increase output at its reactor will be postponed due to equipment trouble.
It's the nation's sole online nuclear facility.
Kyushu Electric Power Company restarted the No.1 reactor at its plant in Kagoshima Prefecture on August 11th. It was the first reactor to go back online under new regulations set after the accident in Fukushima in 2011.
The company said on Friday that it will postpone work to increase output planned for the day due to a glitch in equipment that turns steam used to generate power back into water.
The company says the glitch has not affected the other operations of the facility. It says the reactor is continuing to generate and transmit power.
The operator had planned to gradually increase output and resume commercial operation in early September.
