Power transmission by Oi nuclear plant’s No. 3 reactor to be delayed
The No. 3 reactor at Kansai Electric Power Co.’s Oi nuclear power plant in Fukui Prefecture will resume power transmission on Thursday at the earliest, instead of Wednesday as initially expected, the utility said Tuesday.
The delay is unavoidable as the power-generation turbine needs to be adjusted, Kansai Electric said.

July 3, 2012 report from Jiji Tsushin translated by EXSKF:
[...] the start of power generation at KEPCO Ooi Nuclear Power Plant Reactor 3 will be postponed until the morning of July 5. It was scheduled in the morning of July 4. According to KEPCO, the vibration of the turbine is exceeding the value recommended by the manufacturer.

Ha – so much for the "thorough testing" beforehand….my arse.
I'm worried though that they'll perform only a quick fix to save face before they unleash the beast.

What is FACE? Pride?
"Pride cometh before the fall."
Pride is not a virtue. Humility is a virtue.
Japan needs to humble itself and ask for help.

I hope this restart fails again and again (without injury to anyone) just as another nail in the coffin of the nuclear cabal.
The demise of the nuclear era is approaching… I hope some of us live to see them all shuttered.
