Prefectures not positive about nuclear disposal

An NHK survey shows that none of Japan's prefectural governments is positive about hosting a disposal site for nuclear waste generated at power plants.

NHK asked Japan's 47 prefectures last month about a possible proposal by the state government to conduct preliminary surveys for developing such a site.

None of the governments said they would examine the proposal, while 17 said they should never accept it. 30 did not respond.

Some prefectures that responded negatively said a safe method of disposal has not been decided.
