Japan left with only 10 operating reactors

After the shutdown of Genkai nuclear plant only 10 reactors in Japan with a capacity of 8,684 MW are
currently generating electricity, leaving just 17.7 percent of the nation's total nuclear power capacity in use.

 

According to Reuters, Kyushu Electric Power Co announced that the 1,180-megawatt No.4 reactor at its Genkai nuclear plant shut down automatically following a problem with the unit's cooling system.   

Public fears about nuclear safety after the Fukushima nuclear crisis have prevented local governments from giving utilities the go-ahead to restart reactors taken down for routine maintenance.   

Japan currently has 54 reactors for commercial use, with a total generating capacity of 48,960 megawatts.
