Japanese court orders closure of two nuclear reactors

Order to close two reactors previously declared safe comes days before fifth anniversary of Fukishima atomic disaster

A Japanese court has ordered the closure of two nuclear reactors previously declared safe under strict post-Fukushima safety rules.

The order, made just days before the fifth anniversary of the atomic disaster, would bring the number of operating reactors in Japan down to two. Dozens were shut in the wake of Fukushima, the worst nuclear accident in a generation.
