Japan closed one of the two remaining active nuclear power plants. The completion of the work will take place several before the fifth anniversary of the catastrophic earthquake, which caused the tsunami and the largest nuclear crisis after Chernobyl.
On Wednesday, the Japanese court decided on the closure of the Takaham nuclear power plant in the western part of Japan, referring to poor security measures at the facility. This station was just restarted in January after it was closed after Fukushima, along with the rest of Japan’s nuclear reactors. A quick second shutdown hints at how Japan is concerned about the new dangers that hide the nuclear power plant.
The court ruled that Takahaka reactors should not have been rebooted initially, with reference to the fact that the reboot was problematic: a week later, radioactive water began to flow from the pipe at the facility, while one reactor suddenly turned off, the New York Times reports.
Of all the nuclear reactors in Japan, only two at the Sendai Kyusu factory Electric Power, located at the southern end of the archipelago. He was restarted in August.
