Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said Friday (July 15) that the denuclearization policy he denoted earlier this week was not an administration position, but was just his individual view.
Kan also permitted at a casual session after a Cabinet meeting that he had exposed the denuclearization policy without inquiring other Cabinet members.
Kan was scheduling to synchronize opinions among Cabinet ministers concerning his denuclearization policy at such opportunities as a meeting of the Nuclear Emergency Response Headquarters he chairs. Though, many Cabinet members are already expression opposition to it, exacerbating the disaccord among them.
Internal affairs and communications minister Yoshihiro Katayama uttered his opposition to turn the lower house over the denuclearization policy; adage nuclear energy policy was not a yes-or-no question.
