Updated nuclear safety guidelines took effect on Monday for Japanese utilities.
The new guidelines will also require operators to be prepared for higher tsunami and more powerful earthquakes than under the current rules, and prevent accidents like the one it ocurred in Fukushima Daiichi plant in 2011.
Four utilities are to file applications on Monday to restart 10 reactors at 5 power plants. They are Hokkaido Electric Power Company's Tomari plant, Kansai Electric's Ohi and Takahama plants, Shikoku Electric's Ikata plant and Kyushu Electric's Sendai plant.
