Shika reactor sits atop geological fault that may be active: NRA panel

A geological fault running directly beneath a nuclear reactor at Hokuriku Electric Power Co.’s Shika power plant may be active, a panel of geological experts under the Nuclear Regulation Authority said Thursday.
If the nuclear watchdog finalizes the conclusion, the utility will be unable to restart the unit, the No. 1 reactor at the plant in Ishikawa Prefecture. The facility, which stands on the Sea of Japan coast, is currently idle.
