日本首相野田佳彦说,日本在看到福岛核电站灾难的后果后,应“尽可能”减少对核能的依赖。

野田佳彦星期二(9月13日)在向议会发表自己第一份施政报告时承诺,将重新启动日本各地几十座核电站。这些核电站在3月福岛核灾难发生后关闭,以便检查安全情况。

但这位上台不久的首相向议会承诺,将在未来几个月内检讨日本能源政策,并说日本应探索新的可持续能源。

Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda says the country should reduce its reliance on nuclear power “as much as possible” in the aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster.

In his first policy speech to parliament Tuesday, Mr. Noda promised to restart dozens of nuclear plants across Japan that had been shut down for safety checks since the Fukushima disaster in March.

But the new prime minister pledged to review the country’s energy policy in the coming months, telling lawmakers Japan should explore new sources of sustainable energy.
