The prefectural government of Fukushima said no to allowing Tokyo Electric Power Company to resume any nuke plant operations. ”A resumption of plant operations must be impossible.”-Sato Yuhei, Fukushima Governor
Governor Sato made the statement after a 15 minute meeting with TEPCo president Shimizu Masataka. TEPCo had tried to meet with the state government of Fukushima twice before, and was unofficially told to take a hike both times. This time Fukushima officials made it official. They told TEPCo there is no way they will allow them to resume any nuclear power functions at the damaged Fukusima Daiichi plant.
