Tokyo, Dhu-AlQa'dah 15, 1435, Sep 10, 2014, SPA -- Two nuclear reactors in Japan passed new safety standards Wednesday, for the first time since the nuclear disaster at Fukushima three and a half years ago, dpa reported. The move brings Japan closer to restarting domestic nuclear power generation after the government shut down all of its nuclear plants in the wake of the reactor meltdown at Fukushima, which followed an earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. Two reactors at the Sendai power plant in Kagoshima prefecture in the south of the country obtained safety clearance from regulators on Wednesday. The government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said in April that it was planning a return to nuclear power. --SPA 11:39 LOCAL TIME 08:39 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
