Public Opinion in Japan

While the rest of the world --- the part of the world NOT affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, the resulting tsunami, and the Fukushima Daiichi Accident --- goes on as if it WERE the part of the world affected, it seems as if the Japanese are not as concerned and aren't as anti-nuclear as anyone would have suspected.

The proof is found in a document released by the JAIF (Japan Atomic Industrial Forum) which is a major trade group, for those unfamiliar, for nuclear industry in Japan and which is modeled right off the old AIF (Atomic Industrial Forum) here in the United States.

Click here to read the document.

This information is important; we've already posted here in the past about public opinion in the United States after Three Mile Island, and this compilation of survey results is telling us essentially the same thing. Click here to see my post on the public opinion post-TMI.

The more that the result of this survey compilation spreads, the better. Especially if it's in Germany and Italy. And Switzerland.

ATOMIC POWER REVIEW

Note: I've reposted this data to get it to the top of the site for the evening, and to add the link to the TMI post I made some time back because it's very relevant.
