A Japanese Parliamentary report released now says that the accident at Japan's Fukushima nuclear plant last year was a 'man-made disaster'. The report is expected to be critical of both government officials and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco), reports BBC. Meanwhile, the first nuclear reactor to be switched back on since the March 2011 disaster has started generating electricity. The restart, ordered by PM Yoshihiko Noda last month, was met with protests. Details awaited.
