Suit filed to seek decommissioning of Hamaoka reactors
SHIZUOKA, Japan - Plaintiffs carrying banners calling for an end to nuclear power walk to the Shizuoka District Court in the city of Shizuoka on July 1, 2011, to file a lawsuit seeking the decommissioning of the reactors at the Hamaoka nuclear power plant in the prefecture. Located in a major active fault zone, Chubu Electric Power Co. suspended the plant's Nos. 3 to 5 reactors in May at the request of the central government in the wake of the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant crippled by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami. The Nos. 1 and 2 reactors at the Hamaoka plant were deactivated in 2008 for decommissioning. (Kyodo)
