日本一家法院星期二下达命令，不准一家电力公司重启两座核反应堆。
日本核管理机构本来已经批准关西电力公司按照2011年发生地震和海啸后制定的新标准，重新启动位于西部福井县的第三号和第四号核反应堆。
但当地居民对今年晚些时候重新启动核反应堆的计划提出挑战，认为新标准不足以保护核反应堆在强烈地震中免受损坏。
关西电力说，该公司将对这一裁决提出申诉。
A court in Japan issued an injunction Tuesday blocking a power company from restarting two of its nuclear reactors.
Nuclear regulators had already cleared Kansai Electric Power to restart the No. 3 and No. 4 reactors at a plant in the western province of Fukui according to new standards put in place following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami at the Fukushima nuclear plant.
But residents challenged the plan to resume operations later this year, saying the new standards were not sufficient to protect against a powerful earthquake.
Kansai said it would appeal the ruling.
