What I’m actually more interested in with regard to THIS article is the restart of nuclear power plants. The Japanese seem to be saying this is feasible, the Germans and some US experts say it is not. ???

Each mothballed nuclear plant is a different situation that has to be carefully looked into before restarting it. Over 30 years operation the pipes, valves, electronic controls get brittle due to radiation/ When all these were hot and making electricity say 7 years ago. All these limitations were known and were compensated for.
After a 7 year cool off period how will brittle pipes and valves handle new hot water temperatures and more radiation? The big question.
I’d like to think the Japanese would have better picture of their reactors condition the Germans or US.

Me too. This is one of the first POSITIVE developments that I’ve seen out of the West. The others are Germany finally deciding to listen to Trump on military spending, and Japan also planning to double their military spending.
If the West doesn’t wasn’t want to be slaves to China and/or Russia in the near future, they’ll have to STEP UP to the new game in town and tell Greta, the Greens, and their anti-military types to shove it.
