"Jitters as Japan decides to restart nuclear reactors"

The Christian Science Monitor has reported that even in Fukui Prefecture -- with 14 atomic reactors, nearly one every other mile along its 31 mile long coastline on the Sea of Japan -- residents are very concerned about Japanese Prime Minister Noda's approval of restarting the Ohi Nuclear Power Plant, especially concerning earthquake fault lines in the vicinity. This first restart of atomic reactors post Fukushima has led to a 45,000 strong protest at the Japanese Prime Minister's residence in Tokyo, thousands protesting in Fukui Prefecture itself, and international rallies, including at the Japanese Embassy in Washington, D.C., co-sponsored by Beyond Nuclear.
