Angry scenes as Japan's Tepco shareholders demand end to nuclear

TOKYO: Furious shareholders of the company that runs Japan's crippled Fukushima nuclear power station joined campaigners on Thursday to demand the permanent closure of the utility's atomic plants as it held its annual meeting.

Dozens of demonstrators with loud speakers and banners said Tokyo Electric Power Co (Tepco), which wants to restart some of the reactors at the world's largest nuclear plant amongst others, must act to not repeat the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi disaster.
