Science minister visits Monju fast-breeder reactor

Hiroshi Hase (far L in front row), minister for education, culture, sports, science and technology, inspects Monju, a prototype fast-breeder reactor designed to produce more nuclear fuel than it consumes, in Tsuruga, Fukui Prefecture on the Sea of Japan coast on Dec. 2, 2015. The minister visited the trouble-prone reactor after Japan's nuclear regulators urged him in November to appoint a new entity to run Monju within about six months to bolster safety management operations under the new operator.
