Kyushu Electric Power has postponed the restart of the No. 3 reactor at Genkai Nuclear Power Plant in Saga Prefecture after a malfunctioning valve was discovered during inspection of the main steam system. Originally set to restart on June 4, the reactor had already been delayed once in May following a minor radiation exposure incident. No environmental impact has been reported, and a new schedule for restarting operations has not been set. Source: NHK
