Kyushu Electric Power Co. said Friday it will begin loading fuel next week into the second reactor at its Sendai nuclear power plant in southwestern Japan as the utility prepares to restart it in mid-October.

The No. 2 reactor at the complex will become the second to be restarted in Japan under more rigorous safety requirements adopted after the 2011 Fukushima triple-reactor meltdowns. The utility reactivated the No. 1 unit at the two-reactor plant on Aug. 11.

The utility, which serves the island of Kyushu, also said it expects to post a group net profit of 45 billion yen in the first half of the current business year through March, swinging into the black on a half-year basis for the first time in five years due to the restart of the No. 1 unit.
