A court ruled to bar Kansai Electric Power Co. from restarting two reactors at a plant in western Japan, dealing the government a blow in its efforts to resume nuclear power generation after the 2011 meltdown in Fukushima.
A panel of judges with the Fukui District Court Tuesday issued an injunction preventing the utility from moving ahead with plans to resume operations at the atomic units, according to the plaintiffs in the case.
