The government wants to cut the country's dependence on nuclear power. Last year, nuclear regulators introduced tougher safety guidelines for power plants. The regulators limited the lifespan of nuclear reactors to 40 years. They can grant extensions of up to 20 years under certain conditions. Seven reactors at 5 power plants have reached, or will soon reach the 40-year-mark. The government has given the operators until next July to decide whether to apply for an extension or take the expensive step of scrapping them. Industry ministry officials say they're considering ways to ease the financial impact and encourage the companies to decommission their old reactors. Industry Minister, Yuko Obuchi said the government will help utilities to restart reactors that have been found to be safe. At the same time, she said, the government will help them decommission their reactors if they choose. Radioactive water leaking from Fukushima tank Nuclear & Energy Sep. 4, 2014 - Updated 06:22 UTC-4 The operator of the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has reported yet another leak of highly radioactive water from its storage tanks. Officials of Tokyo Electric Power Company say workers found a leak from piping connecting two tanks around noon on Thursday. The officials say a drop of water was leaking from a valve every few seconds & found what looked like a crack in it. The tanks hold contaminated water that was used to cool melted nuclear fuel. Cesium had been removed from the water. The officials say the piping was covered with sheets as an emergency measure. The water in the two tanks's being transferred to other tanks. The officials say there's no danger of the water seeping into the ground or out to other areas. That's because the storage tanks're surrounded by concrete barriers about 60 cm high, and the floors within the barriers're covered with resin. 1,090 Mega Bq/km2 of Cs-134/137 fallout still observed in July in Fukushima http://bit.ly/1lNBbFM TV director to cover Fukushima thyroid cancer & nuclear industry “commit suicide” http://bit.ly/WpD7I9 Toride city of Ibaraki decided to give lecture by the experts instead of thyroid inspection not to spread fear http://bit.ly/1lNBcJQ Mushroom contamination map shows contaminated products mainly consumed in Kanto area http://bit.ly/WpD7Ia Fukushima Update, Now in Year 4 http://bit.ly/1lNBbFS Radioactive plumes spread cesium a week after Fukushima disaster http://bit.ly/WpDanm INSTANT KARMA / 200,000 DOWNWIND DEATHS FROM NEVADA ATOMIC TESTING http://bit.ly/1lNBcJT Source: http://bit.ly/WpD7Ii * Fukushima free project site by Red Button TV http://bit.ly/KnFje0
