Japan's government has vowed to continue seeking to restart the country's nuclear reactors, despite a provisional injunction issued by the Fukui District Court.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters on Tuesday that the government respects the independent Nuclear Regulation Authority's decision that the reactors comply with what are called the toughest requirements in the world. He said the decision came after a lengthy review.
Suga stressed that the government is not a party to the lawsuit, and that the injunction is provisional. He said the government will closely watch what the plant's operator does.
Suga added that he does not think the court decision will affect the government's energy policy or plans to restart other reactors.
The secretary general of the main opposition Democratic Party, Yukio Edano, said the decision by the judiciary must be taken seriously.
Edano described the decision as clear proof that the public does not believe nuclear plants are as safe as the government claims.
He said the Democrats will urge the government and nuclear regulators to keep this in mind and act cautiously.
