Japan Restarting Two Nuclear Power Plants
June 18th, 2012
Via: ABC News:
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda ordered the restart of two idle nuclear reactors Saturday amid widespread public opposition, more than a year after a powerful earthquake and tsunami triggered three nuclear meltdowns at the Fukushima Dai-ichi Power Plant, and halted all 50 reactors in Japan.
The decision to reactivate the Ohi reactors in western Japan, marks the first time the government has turned nuclear power back on, since the Fukushima accident, the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. Japan was rocked by a series of powerful earthquakes and a tsunami in March 2011.
