Minister seeks zero dependence on nuclear power

National Policy Minister Motohisa Furukawa says he's aiming for zero dependence on nuclear power for Japan when drawing up a new energy policy.

Furukawa said on Tuesday that the government must face up to reality and think hard how to reduce the country's dependence on nuclear power.

He said he will set up a panel of experts on Wednesday to analyze the volumes of public opinion the government has received on the country's future dependence on nuclear power.

The government has held public hearings as it reviews its energy policy in the wake of last year's nuclear disaster.

Furukawa added that he shares the view held by many Japanese that the government should create a society without nuclear power plants.
