TOKYO — Japan’s new prime minister, Yoshihiko Noda, promised Friday to keep Japan on its path of phasing out nuclear power, saying it was “unrealistic” to build new reactors in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear crisis or to extend those at the end of their life spans.
In his first speech to the nation as prime minister, Noda also said Japan would seek to rebuild its tattered finances even as it pays for reconstruction after the country’s devastating earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident in March.
