Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Monday he intends to allow construction of new nuclear reactors despite last year's atomic disaster. He will reverse the previous government's plan to reduce the nation's dependence on atomic energy following the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant. "New reactors will be totally different from those at Tokyo Electric Power Co's Fukushima Daiichi plant, which caused the crisis," said Abe, who visited the complex Sunday. "We will be building them with consent obtained from the Japanese people," he was quoted as saying by DPA.
