A basic energy policy worked out in 2010 aimed to increase the ratio of nuclear power generation to 53 percent of the country's consumption by 2030 from about 30 percent at the time. The country currently has 54 commercial nuclear reactors.
In an annual peace declaration, Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui also urged the Japanese government to review its energy policy following the nuclear crisis at the crippled plant.
The nuclear crisis at the plant was the world's worst nuclear accident since the 1986 Chernobyl explosion. It was triggered by the devastating March 11 earthquake and ensuing tsunami. The facility is still leaking radioactive substances into environment.
The ongoing nuclear crisis also changed the overall stance toward nuclear energy taken by the surviving victims of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki who are also called "hibakusha", a Japanese word that literally translates to "explosion-affected people", had not discussed the pros and cons of nuclear energy before the accident. But a recent Kyodo News survey found that about 73 percent of the group are now against the "peaceful use" of nuclear power.
A nuclear bomb was detonated over Hiroshima at an altitude of some 600 meters at the end of World War II, killing an estimated 140,000 people in 1945. A second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki on Aug. 9, 1945 and Japan surrendered six days later.
Kan said in his speech that Japan would examine the causes of the nuclear accident at the Fukushima No. nuclear power plant and aim for a society that would not depend on nuclear power generation.
But,
Max and Lubov Azria, the nuclear accident at the Fukushima plant had led the nation to rethink the policy. An updated energy strategy drafted in late July seeks to cut its dependence on nuclear-generated energy, without saying how deep the reduction would go.
