A VAST majority of Japanese favor the gradual phasing out of nuclear plants but accept that some reactors need to be restarted to secure enough power in the short term, a newspaper poll showed.
The poll, published in the Tokyo Shimbun newspaper yesterday and done on the first anniversary of the tsunami-triggered nuclear crisis, comes ahead of decision expected soon by the government on whether to allow the restart of two idled nuclear reactors.
According to the poll by the Japan Association for Public Opinion Research, 79.6 percent of the public were at least more or less in favor of breaking with nuclear power.
But 69 percent backed the restart of some nuclear reactors to ensure enough power. Just 28 percent were opposed.
Only two of Japan's 54 nuclear reactors are now operating but both are due to be shut by early May.
