Significant setback to Japan’s #nuclear revival

Japan’s nuclear revival in trouble

The Japanese Government’s plans to revive its nuclear power plants have taken a significant blow according to Reuters.

The news outlet reports that of the 42 still operable reactors in the country, just 7 are likely to return to service in the next few years, down from 14 that had been planned 12 months earlier. According to Reuters the halving in reactors planned for restart in the next few years is due to legal challenges and concerns about their ability to meet stricter safety standards imposed after the Fukishima nuclear plant explosion.
