Public Opposition Rising

NEARLY 70 percent of Japanese oppose the restart of nuclear reactors halted for maintenance work, a poll by the Nikkei business daily showed yesterday, even though keeping them shut could mean power blackouts this summer.

Thirty-five of Japan's 54 commercial reactors are currently shut, including the six at Fukushima.

Before the crisis, nuclear power provided about 30 percent of Japan's electricity, a figure that fell last month to about 20 percent.
