Gov't postpones decision on Oi reactors' restart

TOKYO, June 7, Kyodo

The government has decided to postpone its decision for restarting two idled reactors in Fukui Prefecture to next week or later due to stalled procedures for winning consent from the prefectural government, giving up its original plan to conclude as early as this week, sources close to the matter said Thursday.

The Fukui prefectural government remains cautious about rushing its decision to support the restart of the reactors at the Oi nuclear power plant amid deep-rooted opposition against the move among the public and neighboring municipalities following the Fukushima nuclear crisis.

Currently, all of Japan's 50 operational commercial reactors are offline following the nuclear crisis at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex, triggered by the March 2011 massive earthquake and tsunami.
