Japan has superior site to host nuclear fusion project: Abraham

TOKYO (AFP) Jan 09, 2004
US Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham said Friday the United States favoured Japan to host an experimental nuclear fusion reactor rather than France because it offered a superior site.

"I am proud to say today that the United States strongly supports building ITER here in Japan. From a technical standpoint you offer the superior site. The location of Rokkasho is superbly situated to receive the large materials needed for ITER," Abraham told Japanese business leaders.
