For months, the Indian cricket team had found themselves on the wrong side of the coin. Match after match, the toss continued to be a silent opponent, leaving fans amused, confused, and even superstitious. But that unusual phase has finally come to an end
Japan approves restart of world's biggest nuclear plant
Japanese local authorities approved Friday the restart of the world's biggest nuclear plant, a key step in the process to get it back online after the 2011 Fukushima disaster.
Japanese local authorities approved Friday the restart of the world's biggest nuclear plant, a key step in the process to get it back online after the 2011 Fukushima disaster.
Hideyo Hanazumi, governor of Niigata province where the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant is located, told a news conference he "would approve" the resumption, which will need final permission by the country's nuclear regulator.
The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant was taken offline when Japan pulled the plug on nuclear power after a tsunami caused the 2011 meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi plant.
But the resource-poor country now wants to revive atomic energy and reduce its dependence on imported fossil fuels.
A total of 14 reactors -- mostly in western and southern regions -- have already resumed operation after strict safety standards were imposed.
The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant will be the first restart for Fukushima operator Tepco after the disaster, once it gets final approval.
