TOKYO - Thousands of people carrying "No nukes" signs marched through the streets of Tokyo Sunday, calling for an end to the use of nuclear power, as work continued to stabilize a troubled nuclear power plant in the country's northeast.

Protesters, including families with small children and members of labor, consumer and feminist groups, carried placards with anti-nuclear slogans and chanted "No more Fukushima!" "No nuclear plants."

"It is time for us to think of alternative power other than nuclear power," said protester Etsuko Nikiori, 40.
