SOFIA, May 27 (Reuters) - Bulgaria’s state nuclear power plant Kozloduy reconnected on Thursday its 1,000 megawatt (MW) nuclear reactor Unit 5 after a planned maintenance and refuelling, the plant said.
Kozloduy, situated at the Danube River, said in a statement that the reactor was reconnected to the national power grid at 0651 GMT, after a clearance by the country’s nuclear regulator. The reactor was shut on April 17.
Its other 1000 MW reactor, Unit 6, whose capacity was temporarily decreased by 50% on May 25 after a shutdown of a pump in its non-nuclear part, was working at a gross load of 752 MW, information at the plant’s website showed. (Reporting by Tsvetelia Tsolova)

TOKYO, April 28 (Reuters) - Kansai Electric Power received approval to restart three 40-year-old, long-idled reactors, which could pave the way for a revival of a nuclear energy sector largely dormant since the Fukushima disaster a decade ago.
The approval on Wednesday from Fukui Prefecture Governor Tatsuji Sugimoto was the first in four years and is needed to allow any return to operation following the post-Fukushima shutdown.
It could stir opposition from a public still wary of atomic power, but officials have called for new nuclear plants to help meet government climate targets to decarbonise the country’s heavily industrialised economy.

LONDON, April 13 (Reuters) - Britain’s nuclear regulator said on Tuesday it had approved a restart of EDF Energy’s reactors 3 and 4 at Hunterston nuclear power plant in Scotland.
The Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) said on its website that each reactor will be active approximately for six months, and this will be the power station’s final period of operation before moving into the defueling phase. (Reporting by Bozorgmehr Sharafedin; Editing by Kirsten Donovan)
