Nippon Restarting Iwanuma Mill in Japan

Nippon Paper Industries, Japan, reports that it has resumed operation at the company's Iwanuma mill (Iwanuma, Miyagi) following restarting of the Nakoso mill (Iwaki, Fukushima) on April 5. Boilers at the Iwanuma mill were damaged by the March 11 earthquake and stopped operating. However, the paper machines, Nippon says, received only slight damage.

The mill is re-starting one of the repaired boilers this week. Two newsprint machines will be restarted one by one after April 11.
