Prime Minister Noda backing nuclear restart, despite strong anti nuclear opinion in Japan

Japan’s Prime Minister Noda shows unyielding stance on nuclear reactors By Yoshihiro Kiyonaga and Yoshinari Saito The Yomiuri Shimbun , June 10, 2012  TOKYO — Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda has once again expressed his unyielding intention to restart the nation’s suspended nuclear reactors, saying society “won’t function” without nuclear power..

.. Noda’s remarks drew a clear line between him and politicians who say nuclear power plants should be replaced with other energy sources, and were apparently based on the fact that the
suspension of nuclear reactors has disrupted people’s lives and the Japanese economy.
