@bojacobs@hcommons.social Jpn govt still places short term financial gains above safety by pushing to remove the 60yr working life limit of nuclear pwr plants as seen from today's Q&A session when oppo CDP ldr Edano asked PM Kishida: "Even under the 40- or 60-year standard, the accident at [Fukushima] occurred. [Extending beyond 60 yrs] is prioritizing [nuclear pwr] use over safety; and as it relaxes safety standards, you can't claim the highest safety level in the world. Am I wrong?" https://news.tv-asahi.co.jp/news_politics/articles/000287772.html
