Japan court: Nuclear plant’s tsunami safeguards inadequate

A group of plaintiffs and their supporters celebrate a court decision outside the Sapporo district court Tuesday, May 31, 2022 in Sapporo, Hokkaido prefecture, Japan. The court Tuesday ordered that Hokkaido Electric Power Co. not restart a nuclear power plant because it lacks adequate tsunami safeguards, backing residents’ safety concerns at a time the government is pushing shutdown reactors to resume power generation after pledging to ban imports of Russian fossil fuels.
