11 governors say nuke plants should be abolished, reduced (JAPAN)

Of Japan's 47 prefectural governors, 11 said nuclear power plants should be abolished or reduced in the future, but most dodged the question, according to an Asahi Shimbun survey.

Thirty-one governors would not commit themselves, choosing "none of the answers given" or not answering the question at all.

None said nuclear power plants should be increased following the accident at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.

Four said nuclear power plants should be maintained at current levels, and one said they should be reduced or kept at current levels.

The governors provided written responses by June 10.

1. There was a recent front-page poll in the Asahi Shimbun newspaper

(conducted on June 11 and 12 by telephone) that said that 74% of Japanese favored a gradual phase-out of nuclear power, and only 14% were against it. And while 37% of respondents agreed to the current use of nuclear power generation, 3/5 of them said that nuclear power should be phased out in the future.
