Reportedly, defects were found in the refrigeration equipment of the plant in 2006. The plant was, thus, shut-down as a safety measure.
After testing and inspecting the plant, authorities confirmed the safety and gave permission to restart operations.
Company also informed that No 7 reactor (2 F-207) that had closed-down in December 2007 has also started operating after gaining permission from safety authorities.
However, they said the No 8 reactor was still found dangerous and will not be opened any time soon.
Company hopes to be working at 80-85 percent production capacity in the near future.
