Yomuri Shimbun reports that the Japanese government aims to restart about 10 of the nation's idle nuclear reactors by this summer, when electricity demand is expected to increase.
According to sources, the government is considering resuming its work on compiling the nation’s new basic energy plan, with the aim of announcing it by the end of this fiscal year ending in March.
It hopes about 10 nuclear power reactors will resume their operations under the new plan.

Hundreds of technicians and engineers are camped out in Tokyo hotels trying to revive Japan's nuclear industry.
