One year on, Fukushima governor vows to replace atomic power with green energy
Nearly one year after the outbreak of Japan's worst nuclear disaster at the Fukushima No. 1 Nuclear Power Plant, Fukushima Gov. Yuhei Sato has said he will strive to rebuild the disaster-stricken prefecture swiftly to help local residents return home, nurture new industries to revitalize the badly-damaged local economy, and promote renewable energy to replace nuclear power generation.
The Mainichi interviewed Gov. Sato ahead of the first anniversary of the March 11, 2011, triple disasters.
The following are key questions and answers in the interview:
Question: Looking back on the past year, what do you think now?

I want the people of Japan and the people of the world to share the nuclear accident with us and not forget it.
