A recent lawsuit seeking to halt operations at three nuclear power plants in Fukui, Japan has been dismissed. The court decision suggests the continued support for the country's policy favoring nuclear power despite public concerns over safety. Details about the plaintiff's setbacks and the courts rationale are yet to surface.

The resumption of nuclear power plants' operations has been a controversial issue in Japan since the 2011 Fukushima disaster. Safety concerns reign high amongst the citizens and environmentalist groups, and this lawsuit is a reflection of ongoing public resistance. However, the government sees nuclear power as a crucial part of Japan's energy mix due to energy security and economy.

In the US, nuclear power is part of the energy strategy, but it also faces scrutiny and lawsuits over safety regulations, especially following high-profile accidents like Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. Europe, on the other hand, is divided. Some nations like France and Hungary strongly support nuclear power, while others like Germany and Belgium are phasing it out.
