Opposition to nuclear industry grows in Japan

With the anniversaries of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the coming week, People in Japan have continued to oppose the restarting of nuclear plants following the Fukushima disaster of a few months ago. On the back of an anti nuclear rally that attracted almost 200,000 people, a petition containing almost 8 million signatures has been presented to the Japanese government. Late last month, it emerged that workers at the stricken Fukushima reactor were made to work in hazardous radiation conditions.
