The Sendai Nuclear Power Plant (川内原子力発電所 Sendai Genshiryoku Hatsudensho, Sendai NPP) is a nuclear power plant located in the city of Satsumasendai in Kagoshima Prefecture. It is owned and operated by the Kyūshū Electric Power Company. The plant, like all other nuclear power plants in Japan, did not generate electricity since the nationwide shutdown in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011, but was restarted on August 11, 2015, and began providing power to nearby towns again. Sendai is the first of Japan's nuclear power plants to be restarted. The plant is on a site of 1.45 km2 (358 acres), employs 277 workers, and indirectly employs 790. The reactors are of the 3-loop M type pressurized water reactor, built by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries.
