(1)High court nullifies approval of Monju reactor

KANAZAWA, Japan - Plaintiffs enter the Nagoya High Court's Kanazawa branch Jan. 27, the same day the court nullified the government's approval of the trouble-plagued Monju fast-breeder nuclear reactor in Tsuruga, Fukui Prefecture, to effectively keep it shut down. The plaintiffs said shortcomings in the government's safety screenings before construction of the reactor were responsible for a massive sodium coolant leak at the plant in 1995. (Kyodo)
