Japan plans to restart today its fast-breeder nuclear reactor Monju after suspending its operations for more than 14 years. The facility at Tsuruga in Fukui was shut down in 1995 following a sodium leak and a fire. The public grew fearful of the programme and angry at the operator, who tried to cover up key data from the incident. The Japan Atomic Energy Agency released altered video footage of the fire in a failed attempt to ease public concern about the safety of the facility.
