Wider consensus needed on Hamaoka plant restart

 Story in the Mainichi here about the proposed restart of the Hamaoka nuclear plant in Shizuoka, which was shut down just over 6 years ago due to lingering fears about its safety. Hamaoka nuclear power station is located directly above the hypocenter of an active seismic fault along the Nankai Trough that experts believe could be the cause of Japan's next megaquake. The article also features a photo showing the 22-meter seawall that was recently built on the ocean side of the plant. Above this blog entry there is a photo I took in 2010 before the wall was built.
