BERLIN — Tens of thousands of people on Saturday turned out in Germany’s largest cities to protest the use of nuclear power in the wake of Japan’s Fukushima reactor disaster, police and organizers said.

In Berlin alone, more than 100,000 took to the capital’s streets to urge Germany’s leaders to abolish nuclear power, said police spokesman Jens Berger.

Organizers said about 250,000 people marched at the “Fukushima Warns: Pull the Plug on all Nuclear Power Plants” rallies in the country’s four largest cities, making them the biggest anti-nuclear demonstrations in the country’s history.
