[Title and summary translation from original Japanese provided by Business & Human Rights Resource Centre] ...Government plans to restart the nuclear reactors...weremet with criticism from environmental groups. On 13 April while in Ohi Prefecture, Prime Minister Noda noted that in order to combat high energy need in the coming summer, it was necessary to restart the Ohi nuclear reactors. But according to an analysis by Wakao Hanaoka of Greenpeace, energy shortage will not be too much of a problem this summer. On the 15th, Mainichi newspaper wrote that they do not understand why the government is trying to rush the restarting of the Ohi nuclear reactor. Asahi newspaper noted similar sentiment. On the other hand, Sankei newspaper noted that PM Noda should clearly state the country's energy plan and the reason to restart these nuclear reactors.
