More than a thousand demonstrators have marched through the streets of Tokyo, to call for the abolition of all nuclear power in Japan.

The protest came after Japanese Prime Minister, Naoto Kan, asked for an immediate shutdown of the Hamaoka nuclear plant, which belongs to Chubu Electric Power Corporation, and is located 200 kilometers southwest of Tokyo. The call for a closure was over worries another strong earthquake could cause another nuclear crisis.

The demonstrators welcomed Kan's decision. It's the first time a prime minister has directly requested a nuclear facility be closed.

Nona Saito, Protester, said, "Shutting down a nuclear power plant which is in operation, and which they've said is safe, is a remarkable decision by the Prime Minister for us, who are worrying about nuclear safety."

But some didn't think Kan went far enough. They said it was only a temporary suspension that did not give a drastic enough shift in energy policy.

The shutdown at Hamaoka raises the risk of power disruptions in the Chubu region, which is home to Toyota Motor Corporation and other manufacturers.

Companies in eastern and northeastern Japan served by Tokyo Electric Power Cooperation, and another quake-affected utility have already been asked to curb electricity usage this summer when demand peaks.

Some protesters said safety should not be compromised by economic calculations.

Makoto Takahashi, Protester, said, "Since the Fukushima nuclear power plant became such a trouble, I think we should just get rid of all nuclear plants in Japan. We already have a sufficient amount of electricity if we save right."

In the nearly two months since the massive disasters in Japan, the capital has been the scene of plenty of anti-nuclear protests. Most are held in front of the headquarters of TEPCO.

The company announced in April that it wanted a cold shutdown of the plant within six to nine months. However experts say this timeline will be tough to meet.

Meanwhile, although the closure was announced by the Prime Minister, the board of Chubu Electric Power Corporation is still holding discussions on whether they will agree to the suspension.
