in fact, james lyon, the iaea team leader told reporters it's up to the japanese government whether or not to restart the power plants. on tuesday the number two reactor at the plant will shut down for a periodic inspection leaving 51 out of all 54 nuclear power plants in japan into idle. there's a concern for the power shortage. the government wants to get some nuclear facilities restarted before spring when all nuclear power plants in japan are due to shut down for regular checkups. they say prime minister noda will make final decisions on that matter. however, it looks difficult for the government to have its way since local residents near the power plant say they will not let the facilities restart. given a grueling public opposition, the government needs to make its case on the tests including if they will continue to use the current tests as a measure to decide whether or not to restart the facilities. >> form eer microsoft chairman bill gates has expressed willingness to invest in next generation compact nuclear generators designed to be safer and more efficient. he spoke to nhk
