Tokyo Electric Power Co. shot down a bevy of anti-nuclear policy proposals lobbed up by irate shareholders at its annual meeting Thursday in Tokyo and vowed instead to restart its idled reactors.
Some 2,150 shareholders attended the meeting in Chiyoda Ward.
Outside, anti-nuclear activists from Greenpeace held a rally, calling on Tepco to adequately compensate victims of the radiation leaked by its meltdown-hit Fukushima No. 1 plant and phase out nuclear energy. Decked out in radiation suits and masks, they held aloft signs that read, "Pay victims, no restart."
