Nuclear incident increase opposition in Austria

The nuclear accident in Tokiamura in Japan on Thursday in which dozens of
people were irradiated, several of them seriously, has been perceived in
Austria as confirmation that its stance of absolute opposition to nuclear
energy is correct. All of Austria's political parties are now united in
defending Vienna's anti-atomic policy towards its eastern neighbours. This
increase in anti-nuclear sentiment will in particular affect the
construction of the Temelin nuclear power station in the Czech Republic. In
a final television broadcast before Sunday's general elections, chancellor
Viktor Klima stated that in his opinion, the Czech Republic should not be
able to enter the European Union if it completes Temelin.
