The Japanese government has begun posting the results of nuclear reactor safety tests on a government website. Industry minister Yukio Edano said on Tuesday that the government aims to boost transparency before idled reactors now undergoing stress tests are restarted. Kansai Electric Power Company submitted test results on its No.3 reactor at Ohi power plant late last month, according to Japan''s broadcaster NHK World. Edano told reporters that the results, along with exchanges of views between the government and utility, are now available on the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency website. The industry minister said he wants the public to send opinions and questions over the test, and that the government will respond. He said exchanges of views could lead to a better understanding of the nuclear safety examination process.
