"TOKYO — Japan moved closer to reviving part of its moribund nuclear power industry on Friday, as a regional government agreed to restart two reactors at a plant that is among a dozen nationwide waiting to be switched back on following the Fukushima disaster three and a half years ago. The decision by the authorities in Kagoshima Prefecture, on the southern island of Kyushu, cleared an important obstacle to restarting the reactors, which were declared safe by Japan’s new nuclear regulatory agency in September but have been awaiting the go-ahead from politicians."
