Anti-nuclear demonstrators rallied Dec. 22 outside the Diet building in Tokyo to oppose the government's draft of the nation's basic energy plan that lists nuclear power as an "important and fundamental base energy source."
The Abe administration is expected to approve the draft plan in early January.
"We cannot forgive the Abe administration's attempts to waste our movement," said Satoshi Kamata, a journalist who attended the protest.
The demonstrators were part of a civil group that holds protest rallies most Friday evenings outside the prime minister's office. On Dec. 22, they protested at two additional areas in central Tokyo, along with the Diet building.
Tokyo march against restarting nuclear plants

People opposed to restarting Japan's nuclear power plants took to the streets of Tokyo on Sunday.
The march through central Tokyo was organized by civic groups against nuclear power generation.
The Abe administration plans to end the former Democratic Party government's nuclear-free energy policy and continue to utilize nuclear power generation if plant safety can be ensured.
Its new energy policy is set to be approved by the cabinet next month.
After the march, participants surrounded the Diet building and chanted such slogans as "Don't restart reactors" and "Don't create nuclear waste."
One placard read "Don't contaminate the sea," apparently referring to the continuing struggle to contain contaminated water leaks at the Fukushima Daiichi Plant.
A 69-year-old woman from Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo, said she is opposed to restarting nuclear power plants or exporting them before the troubles at the Fukushima plant are resolved.
A 44-year-old father living in Tokyo said the government should decide to immediately abolish all nuclear power plants and work to promote renewable energy sources for future generations.
The organizer says 15,000 people gathered around the Diet building, while police put the figure at about 2,000.
