Eleventh Japanese reactor resumes operation

This is great news all round. Following Fukishima they're probably taking inspections more seriously, so the fact that they've prolonged the operating certificates of those reactors to 60 years is great and only validates that reactors have drastically longer lives than conservative estimates at construction.

Therefore at the country level, they're a very good, stable, and ultimately inexpensive (over a 60 year lifetime; if it's a private entity looking to make money as quickly as possible, of course, they aren't worth it).
