菅首相が福島入り　就任後初、原発視察

　菅義偉首相は２６日午前、就任後初めて東日本大震災・東京電力福島第１原発事故の被災地、福島県を訪問した。菅政権の基本方針に「震災復興」は明記されなかったが、実際に訪れることで安倍政権と同様に被災地を重視する姿勢を示した。
　首相は、同県大熊町の第１原発を訪問。構内を車で回り、廃炉作業や汚染水処理の状況について東電職員から説明を聞いたほか、廃炉の１～４号機の様子を視察した。
　首相は東電に対し、「大変な作業だと思うが着実にやってほしい。国も今まで通り前面に出て全力で取り組んでいきたい」と述べた。（2020/09/26-13:25）

Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga on Saturday visited Fukushima Prefecture, which was hit hard by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, and was affected by the subsequent nuclear accident, for the first time since he took office earlier this month.
   The tour is aimed at indicating his stance of attaching importance to the reconstruction of areas affected by the natural and nuclear disasters, just as his predecessor, Shinzo Abe, did, although the Suga administration's policy platform does not refer to restoration related to the 2011 disasters.
   During the trip, Suga visited the disaster-stricken Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant of Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. . Suga looked around the power station by car and received explanations from TEPCO employees about the work to decommission the plant and treat contaminated water from the facility.
   "It is a tough work, but I hope it will be done steadily," Suga said, showing the government's readiness to continue offering full-fledged support for the work.
