Abe to respect NRA judgement for reactor restarts

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says the government will follow what the Nuclear Regulation Authority says in regards to approving restarts of nuclear reactors.

Some Japanese power companies are set to apply for the restart of their idled reactors as the country's regulator is expected on Wednesday to implement a strict set of rules to address severe accidents.

Abe said safety will be the top priority. He said that the government will let the authority decide.
