Construction of Oma nuclear plant to be continued
Industry minister Yukio Edano said Saturday the government does not intend to withdraw permission for constructing the Oma nuclear plant in Aomori Prefecture, despite the government's new energy policy calling for the end of atomic power generation in the 2030s.

"I am not considering changing (the construction plans of) nuclear power plants for which the industry ministry has given the go-ahead," Edano, minister of economy, trade and industry, said during his talks with local leaders in the northern Japan prefecture in the city of Aomori.
