TOKYO, April 30 (Reuters) - Japan's Chugoku Electric
Power  9504.T  said on Tuesday it will push back a plan to
restart its Shimane nuclear power station's No.2 reactor by four
months. 
    The regional utility in western Japan said it will postpone
the planned restart to December, from currently scheduled
August, due to the delays in safety construction works.
    The Shimane No.2 reactor has been shut since January 2012 as
Japan reinforced safety regulations after the Fukushima nuclear
power disaster.
