Japan earthquake casts cloud over push to restart

Japan earthquake casts cloud over push to restart nuclear plants The powerful earthquake that hit Japan's western coast on New Year's Day has underscored the country's exposure to natural disasters, casting fresh doubt over a push to bring its nuclear capacity back online. Nuclear power plants dot the coast of mountainous Japan, which is prone to earthquakes and tsunamis due to its location on the seismically active "Ring of Fire" around the Pacific Ocean. Monday's magnitude 7.6 earthquake, which has killed more than 100 people in the Hokuriku region, destroyed infrastructure and left homes without power, struck days after regulators lifted an operational ban on Tokyo Electric's Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant. ©SHIRSENDU KARMAKAR #Japan #Earthquake
