#1 "Full power" is not accurate. It may apply to units 3 and 4, but doesn't deserve to be part of the headline -- this is only a fraction of the former nuclear power capacity of Japan, and only a small part of Japan's total power needs.

#2 Ohi plants 3 and 4 are going to restart and will be producing full power by end of July.

#3 The news behind the news is that Japan shut off all its nuclear reactors in a panic after the tsunami and then discovered how much damage the shut-off is doing to their economy. Now their government is backtracking. Would not be surprised if 90% of their previous capacity is eventually turned on again.

#4 Well, I expect any remaining plants of the same generation as Fukushima Unit 1 to be shut down permanently. Unit 1 was to be shut down at the end of the month the quake hit for dismantling anyway and it was the unit that started a cascade failure of the other two units when it exploded and cut emergency cooling and power lines to Units 2 and 3.

But all told, nobody killed, nobody injured, nobody sickened makes for a hard sell to keep them shut down. More people died on the Deepwater Horizon explosion than at Fukushima.

#5 Don't remember who snarked it, but more people have died from eating organic sprouts than were killed by the Fukishima nuke plants.

#7 #4 is spot on - new Nippon PM Noda himself was quoted as saying that AT LEAST two NucRex at Ohi must be turned on as Japanese Society CANNOT SURVIVE A FULL/TOTAL NUCLEAR PLANT SHUTDOWN.

D *** NG IT, I THOUGHT THE SIX-MILLION DOLLAR MAN'S = STEVE AUSTIN'S HOMETOWN OF OHI = OHIGH? WAS IN CALIFORNIA, NOT JAPAN???

#8 That would be Ojai which is North of the Ventura / Oxnard area.
