Japan’s struggling nuclear power industry has won a victory against a
landmark legal injunction that halted the running of two reactors.
Six years on from the triple meltdown at Fukushima, the industry faces concerted opposition from residents and some officials due to lingering concerns about safety.
In an illustration of the damage to the industry’s reputation after
the Fukushima disaster, just three of Japan’s 42 usable reactors are
running at present, according to the Japan Atomic Industrial Forum.
That number is to rise after the Osaka high court on Tuesday backed a
restart of reactors 3 and 4 at the Takahama power plant north of Kyoto.
In doing so, it overturned an earlier ruling that Greenpeace had hailed as the first known case in Japanese history of a judge ordering the shutdown of an operating nuclear reactor.
