Japan nuclear regulator 'very close' to end of review: commissioner

Japan nuclear regulator 'very close' to end of review: commissioner TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's atomic regulator is "very close" to finishing its review of two reactors in southern Japan that are slated to be the first to restart under new rules introduced since the Fukushima nuclear disaster, one of its commissioners told Reuters.
Restarting the first reactors will end the country's longest period without nuclear power. Prior to the meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi plant in 2011, Japan was the third biggest user of the resource.
