Nuclear reactor in central Japan shut down after steam leak near turbine

A nuclear reactor at a power plant in Fukui Prefecture, central Japan, was shut down on May 3 after operators detected a steam leak near a high-pressure turbine. The incident caused no casualties or radiation risk, and the cause is under investigation. This is the second nuclear reactor incident in Fukui in recent months, potentially reigniting safety concerns amid Japan's push to restart nuclear plants.
