The restart of two idled reactors at Kansai Electric Power's Ohi nuclear plant in Japan's Fukui Prefecture secured clearance from a local nuclear safety commission. The approval is a key step before the prefecture's governor can accept a request by Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda to restart the reactors. The Mainichi (Japan)/Kyodo News
