Japan Regulator Delays Decision on Fault Under Ohi Plant

Japan delayed a decision on the future of the Ohi nuclear plant as seismologists under the Nuclear Regulation Authority conflicted over whether an earthquake fault line under the station is active or not.
Two reactors at the plant are the only ones running in the country. The other 48 are offline for safety checks following last year’s Fukushima nuclear disaster. Street protests this year in Tokyo have attracted tens of thousands of people calling for all the reactors to be shut.
