Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga says it is significant that the Governor of Ehime Prefecture has agreed to the restart of the No. 3 reactor at the Ikata nuclear power plant in his prefecture.

Suga said it is very important that the operator of the plant, Shikoku Electric Power Company, place top priority on safety in accordance with legal procedures such as the government's approval and inspections.

He added the government expects the Nuclear Regulation Authority will carry out its procedures rigorously and smoothly.
