Japanese citizens' lawsuit halts restart of Ohi reactors.
?
Nearly 200 Japanese citizens living within 150 miles of the Kansai Electric‘s Ohi nuclear power reactors near Osaka, Japan have won a rare legal battle and court ruling to halt the restart of the two earthquake fault-situated units.
"Plaintiffs have rarely won. This is right in the middle of the restart process ... it could have very well have repercussions," said Aileen Mioko Smith, executive director of Green Action, which earlier this month had a lawsuit to close the Ohi reactors rejected by a court in Osaka.
