Local governments in Miyagi Prefecture are reaching approval for the proposed restart of the Onagawa nuclear power plant No. 2 reactor. During the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami,
the reactor was destroyed. It will be the first reactor to restart after a natural disaster had caused damage. Before the reactor can go back online, Tohoku Electric Power Co. will also need to complete various safety measures. It is now planned to be operational again in 2023,
following the building of a 29-metre-high seawall to shield the plant from tsunamis. About 130 kilometers from the epicenter of the earthquake and tsunami in the east of Japan, the nuclear plant is located.
