Lawmakers call for immediate decommissioning of 24 reactors
June 29, 2012
THE ASAHI SHIMBUN
A cross-party group of lawmakers called for the immediate decommissioning of nearly half of Japan’s nuclear reactors on June 28.
Genpatsu Zero no Kai (Group for zero nuclear power), made up of nine politicians from seven political parties, said 24 of Japan’s reactors were so dangerous that they should immediately be retired.

“(This ranking) is not perfect, but I hope it will trigger a deeper national debate,” Koichi Yamauchi, a Lower House lawmaker belonging to Your Party, said at a meeting of the group. “We will make a more thorough ranking by adding points, such as measures against tsunami.”
The group includes prominent figures such as Shoichi Kondo of the ruling Democratic Party of Japan, Taro Kono of the main opposition Liberal Democratic Party, and Tomoko Abe of the Social Democratic Party.
