Official says Japan needs adequate safety rules for reactor restarts
The Japanese government should establish sufficient safety rules for restarting the country's reactors before it decides whether to allow Kansai Electric Power's Ohi nuclear plant to resume operations, said Kyoto Gov. Keiji Yamada. "It's a mistake to consider restarting nuclear plants when the safety system is not working," Yamada said. "The government has only put in place standards of decision-making (on whether to restart); they have not yet set standards of safety." The Wall Street Journal
