Miyagi prefectural assembly okays reactor restart

The Miyagi prefectural assembly has given a nod to restarting a nuclear reactor in the northeastern prefecture of Japan.

If final approval is given by the prefectural governor, the No.2 reactor of Tohoku Electric Power Company's Onagawa plant will be the first to go back online in the region, which was hit hard by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
