NRA says no to Japan’s nuclear reactor restart
This week on Monday, the head of AREVA, a French supplier of nuclear technology and fuel to Japan said that Japan would restart 6 reactors before the end of the year, and that most of Japan’s nuclear power plants would be brought back online.
Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority however, firmly denied these claims. “Nothing has been decided as it’s impossible for us to predict how many reactors can reopen this year before new safety measures are announced,” an official with Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority told AFP.
What may upset AREVA and the rest of Japan’s ‘nuclear village’ even more, is if the Government is forced to get public approval to restart the nation’s idled nuclear reactors, which the NRA official made special mention of, saying, “Even if some reactors clear our safety screening, there will be additional procedures ahead, including getting the approval of local residents.”
