Anti-nuclear activists go on hunger strike

A group of anti-nuclear activists has begun a hunger strike in Tokyo to protest the restarting of nuclear reactors along the Japan Sea coast.
About 30 members of the group began the strike on Tuesday in front of the industry ministry as the government continued to take steps to restart 2 reactors at the Ohi nuclear power plant in Fukui Prefecture. The reactors are offline for regular inspections.
The group told reporters that it cannot allow the resumption while the nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant continues and reasons for the accident remain undetermined.
About 100 supporters of the group gathered to listen to the activists.
The group says the hunger strike will continue until May 5th, when the country's last operating reactor is set to go offline for regular inspections in Hokkaido.
The group has been staying in tents near the ministry since last September, demanding that the government abolish all nuclear power plants.
