TOKYO — Japan remains committed to nuclear power despite the crisis at a nuclear power plant, Prime Minister Naoto Kan said Sunday, as workers moved closer to repairing the crippled plant by opening the doors of a damaged building.
The move is intended to air out the building that houses Reactor No. 1 to ensure that radiation levels are low enough to allow workers to enter. The Tokyo Electric Power Co. said the procedure would release little radiation into the atmosphere because an air filtering system installed last week had removed most of the dangerous particles.
