I am firmly committed to Global Zero for two reasons: one is Japan suffered from the nuclear tragedy that should not be repeated any more by all means, and two is nuclear disarmament (nuclear abolition eventually) and nuclear non-proliferation are indispensable for the promotion of peaceful uses of nuclear energy, which contributes to the sustainable development of world energy.
