Japan to probe 'active faults' under nuclear plants
Tokyo (AFP) July 18, 2012
Japan's nuclear safety watchdog on Wednesday ordered a probe into
claims the country's only working nuclear power station sits on an
active tectonic fault.
The order came as Kansai Electric Power Company (KEPCO) readied to
refire a second reactor at the Oi plant, western Japan, just weeks after
the first unit was restarted, ending a brief nuclear-free period in
earthquake-prone Japan.
