Japan's trade ministry said yesterday it would approve a revival plan for the utility responsible for the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Tokyo Electric PowerCo---its second attempt at restoring battered finances. The plan hinges on Tokyo Electric restarting its Kashiwazaki Kariwa nuclear plant to cut fossil fuel costs. An earlier plan by the company outlining a revival after its Fukushima plant was hit by a massive earthquake and tsunami in 2011, had to be torn up because it could not restart Kashiwazaki. REUTERS
