I absolutely agree with the Global Zero signatories' statement that declares, “We believe that to protect our children, our grandchildren and our civilization, we must eliminate all nuclear weapons globally.”  All nations should share this belief and endeavor to its eventual realization.

Currently the Commissioner of the Atomic Energy Commission of Japan, Takahiko Ito has extensive experience in the energy field.  After graduating from Tokyo University with a Bachelor’s in Electronic Engineering, he worked for many years at Chubu Electric Power Co, INC, first managing nuclear power stations and later as Executive Vice President and Advisor.  He recently served as Chairman of both the Nuclear Development Steering Committee and The Federation of Electric Power Companies of Japan.
