The head of the Union of Kansai Governments said Wednesday that it will accept any decision the government makes on restarting reactors 3 and 4 at the Oi nuclear plant in Fukui Prefecture, effectively approving a resumption of operations.
"We will accept the government's decision," Hyogo Gov. Toshizo Ido, who heads the body, told reporters after a union meeting in Tottori Prefecture.
The reactivation of the two reactors at the plant would make them the first shut down for routine maintenance to resume operations since the Fukushima nuclear crisis started in March 2011.
