The sale closes with decommissioning as its stated purpose; the later restart plan reverses that path.

The contemporary March 14 report says Unit 2 has been taken offline; March 15 is the reactor database’s formal permanent-shutdown marker.

The unit suspends operation while pursuing continued operation and carrying out facility improvements.

DOE closes financing of up to USD 1.52 billion. The loan amount is not represented as the total project cost.

Reactor startup begins after safety upgrades; subsequent checks and equipment interruptions precede sustained commercial return.

Power generation and grid connection resume at 18:00 Japan time; commercial service remains a later milestone.

The reactor starts at 15:00 Japan time and reaches criticality at 16:50. Reactor startup is distinct from grid reconnection and commercial service.

Chugoku’s results distinguish this generator synchronization from the December 7 reactor startup and January 10 commercial return.

Commercial operation resumes at 16:00 Japan time after final checks. Electrical rating is 796 MWe net / 825 MWe gross.

The operator confirms commercial return after receipt of the regulator’s inspection certificate. Net electrical rating 789 MWe; gross 820 MWe.

Taipower disconnects Unit 2 at licence expiry, ending the island’s nuclear generation at that point. The May 18 database marker is a separate formal shutdown convention.

The regulatory status changes after licensing approvals. This authorizes the restart process, not a completed return to electricity production.

A 25-year Google agreement supports the proposed 615 MW restoration, targeted for full operation in the first quarter of 2029.

The economics ministry approves feasibility work in November 2025; this is a policy/project step, not authority to operate. Day 1 is a month-only anchor.

The regulator approves operation through 2033 in November 2025; day 1 is an estimated month anchor and does not date the eventual restart.

Control-rod withdrawal begins the reactor restart; a control-rod monitoring alarm interrupts the process January 22. This is separate from commercial return.

The regulator receives the application; submission does not authorize generation.

KHNP reports operation resumes after a 35-month facility-improvement project. This pin uses the historical database’s 640 MWe net rating; contemporary reporting gives approximately 685 MWe without establishing an equivalent net rating.

TEPCO resumes commercial operation at 16:00 Japan time after regulatory inspection certificates. Net rating 1,315 MWe; 1,356 MWe is gross.

Holtec begins reactor fuel loading, with testing and startup steps still ahead.

September reporting discusses Kuosheng alongside Maanshan. Sources conflict on whether Kuosheng formally filed a restart application in March; this pin records the dated planning report, not a verified regulatory submission or operating approval.

The financing closes September 8, according to the dated DOE release. This is not total capital cost or permission to generate.

The restart-plan review is completed; onsite verification, aging, seismic and other requirements remain before operating permission.

Holtec reports retrieval of the tilted assembly and transfer to the spent-fuel pool, removing a significant restart obstacle.

No completed generating restart is verified. March 31 is the existing contract-backstop timeline marker, not an announced restart day; Holtec reported fuel recovery October 21.

Reporting describes a conditional earliest-year prospect. December 31 is an estimated year marker; neither unit is treated as already restarted.

The operator retains a Q1 2029 target, conditional on NRC approval. March 31 is a quarter-end timeline anchor, not a scheduled startup day.
