 In June 2011, more than 80 percent of Japanese said they were anti-nuclear and distrusted government information on radiation.By October 2011, while there had been electricity shortages, Japan survived the summer of 2011 without the extensive blackouts that some had predicted.An energy white paper, approved by the Japanese Cabinet in October 2011, stated that "Public confidence in safety of nuclear power was greatly damaged" by the Fukushima nuclear disaster, and called for a reduction in the nation's reliance on nuclear power.
