TOKYO Cheap Dre Kirkpatrick Jersey , Sept. 13 (Xinhua) -- Japan's Nuclear Regulation Authority (NRA) on Wednesday postponed clearing two of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s (TEPCO) idled reactors from restarting on grounds the utility may be unfit to run a nuclear power plant.
Two reactors at TEPCO's Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant in Niigata Prefecture have cleared new stringent safety standards instituted in the wake of the 2011 nuclear disaster at the Fukushima plant, also operated by TEPCO, but the NRA has been criticized for there being a lack of debate on the restart.
The NRA has been critical of TEPCO's management including its safety awareness and had said previously that "An operator, who cannot take concrete measures to decommissioning efforts of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant, does not have the right to resume operation of nuclear reactors."
The utility had been urged by the NRA to provide concrete details on how it plans to deal with contaminated water at the disaster-hit Daiichi nuclear facility in Fukushima Prefecture Cheap Vontaze Burfict Jersey , yet failed to give details in its written response.
The NRA on Wednesday in a meeting with TEPCO said the utility should make clear in its safety rules its determination to ensure the safe operation of its nuclear power plants.
Discussions, henceforth, will be held with Japan's economy, trade and industry minister to determine whether TEPCO is fit to operate nuclear power plants.
Niigata Gov. Ryuichi Yoneyama, in another stumbling block for the embattled utility Cheap Carlos Dunlap Jersey , said gaining consent from local residents on the reactors' restart will take around three to four years.

BEIJING, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- China's Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Sunday, expressing firm opposition to and strong condemnation of a nuclear test undertaken by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
The DPRK Sunday successfully detonated an H-bomb, a hydrogen bomb that can be carried by an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) Cheap Tyler Eifert Jersey , DPRK's Central Television announced. This was the sixth nuclear test the DPRK has undertaken.
"Today, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, despite universal opposition from the international community, conducted another nuclear test. The Chinese government expresses firm opposition to and strong condemnation of the test," said the statement of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
China's firm stance Cheap Jeremy Hill Jersey , as well as the common goal of the international community, is achieving denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula, protecting the nuclear non-proliferation mechanism and maintaining peace and stability in northeast Asia, the statement said.
We strongly urge the DPRK to seriously consider the steadfast will of the international community on a denuclearized Korean Peninsula and to comply with the UN Security Council resolutions, the statement said.
China urges the DPRK to cease incorrect actions that worsen tensions and run against its own interests Cheap Geno Atkins Jersey , and return to dialogue to resolve problems, the statement said.
It said China will work with the international community to comprehensively and completely implement the relevant UN Security Council resolutions, unswervingly promote the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and safeguard the peace and stability of the peninsula.
We all love the long summer days and fun in the sun. The downside to summer is that there are a lot less clothes to hide away behind – all the lumps and bumps are likely to show through. Going to the gym or pounding the pavement is not always the most fun way to spend time on a summer’s day, however.
An Alternative Way to Keep Fit
There are more fun ways to keep fit – take indoor sports, such as indoor soccer Cheap Andy Dalton Jersey , for example – you are getting fit while playing and so you don’t really feel as though you have had as much exercise. The big advantage of indoor sports is that they are not dependent on the weather – which can be capricious in summer.
Indoor Soccer
Indoor soccer Brisbane is played in much the same way as normal soccer – the field is just smaller. Games can be as casual or as serious as you like – many people who play indoor sports set up their own leagues.
And you need not worry if you are still a beginner – soccer is a game that is fun and easy to learn. You just need to find players who are around the same level as you. Once you get fitter, soccer can become more challenging and you will be able to get a really intense workout. Soccer is pretty good cardio for those who play the game.
Volleyball
If kicking the ball isn’t appealing, getting your heart going with volleyball may be a better option. Volleyball doesn’t involve as much running but it is still intense and a great cardio workout.
Cricket
Indoor cricket is, again, not very different from normal cricket – the rules are amended slightly because of the space you are working with but Cheap John Ross Jersey , by and large, they are about the same. Cricket can also be great for cardio.
Netball
Many of us would have played netball at school and so we know what great exercise it can be – it’s an intense, face-paced game and it can be very competitive.
