Tokyo Electric Power Co. Inc. (9501.TO) said Monday that it has signed a
new contract to buy one million tons of liquefied natural gas from

year.
The operator of the crippled
Fukushima
nuclear plant said the purchase will start from August, as Japanese power
companies keep thermal plants online, while shutting off nuclear plants due to
strong public opposition.
The public's fears of nuclear energy intensified after last year's tsunami
swamped the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, sending it into meltdown and
creating explosions.

to generate power to make up for lost nuclear power.
