The comments from Shinjiro Koizumi, a rising political star and son of former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, are his first on the controversial issue since he was named in a cabinet reshuffle

Speaking late Wednesday night, he appeared to echo his father's post-Fukushima anti-nuclear stance.

"We'll be finished if we let occur twice in one country. We never know when we'll have an earthquake," he added, without specifying further. A darling of the Japanese media, Shinjiro Koizumi is the third-youngest minister appointed to the cabinet in Japan since the end of World War II. His father is known for having shifted his own stance on nuclear power dramatically since resigning from politics, to a position of strong opposition.
