TOKYO, July 16 (UPI) -- A decision to restart nuclear reactors in Japan in the wake of the Fukushima disaster is an insult to the nation, a protest leader said Monday.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda last month gave approval for the restart of the Ohi nuclear power facility, which was shut down in the wake of the March 2011 disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plants. Fukushima melted down after a magnitude-9 earthquake and resulting tsunami.
