Hitachiomiya mayor accepts nuclear waste literature survey

Original: ごみ

The mayor of Hitachiomiya in Ibaraki Prefecture has announced the city will accept a literature survey for a possible nuclear waste disposal site, saying there is no right to take choices away from future generations. Experts have challenged some of his comments, including a claim that more people die in car accidents. Residents and city councillors are divided, while neighbouring municipalities and Industry Minister Akazawa stress the survey's significance.

Why now: The mayor's formal acceptance of the first-stage survey for Japan's nuclear waste final disposal process is a contentious national energy policy milestone drawing expert criticism and local division.
