All no-entry zones in Fukushima now revised
The boundaries of the last remaining no-entry zone near the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant have been revised, giving former residents access to at least part of their community.

S.Korean reactors shut down over fake certificates
South Korea’s nuclear regulators have shut down 2 reactors amid revelations they used cables supplied with fake safety certificates.
The South’s Nuclear Safety and Security Commission said control signal cables for 4 reactors had failed to meet safety standards in performance tests, but the body that carried out the tests had forged their safety certificates. The plants are in Busan and Gyeongju.
The commission ordered 2 of the reactors shut down, and all the cables replaced. The other 2 were not in operation.

Panel reopens debates on nuclear waste disposal
A Japanese government panel has resumed discussions to review policy on disposing of high-level nuclear waste.
