TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan’s nuclear regular said on Thursday it had filed an appeal to overturn a court ruling requiring two reactors operated by Kansai Electric Power Co be kept shut.

The decision by Osaka district court earlier this month underlined the fraught conditions facing Japan’s beleaguered nuclear sector, which has been mostly shutdown since the Fukushima catastrophe nearly 10 years ago.
The Osaka court ruled in favour of about 130 plaintiffs who said that the Ohi No. 3 and No. 4 reactors in Fukui prefecture, western Japan, were vulnerable to major earthquakes.
