Japan better choice for ITER given Asian energy demand: governor

AOMORI, Japan - Aomori Gov. Shingo Mimura speaks at his office in Aomori on Dec. 8. As governor of a prefecture aspiring to host a multibillion-dollar international nuclear energy project, he said Aomori is a better choice than a European location given a surge in energy demand and rapid economic growth in Asia. ''I believe it is of international significance to host the ITER in Asia, whose population and economy has posted sharp expansion,'' he said. (Kyodo)
