Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan faces Fukushima no-confidence vote

If Mr Kan loses the vote of confidence, due shortly in parliament, he would be forced to resign or call an election.

an opinion poll published on Wednesday suggests the public has a dim view of Mr Kan's handling of the Fukushima disaster.

In a survey of 700 adults, 79% rated his management of the crisis as poor, according to the Pew Research Center.

On Wednesday, the UN nuclear energy agency the IAEA said Japan had "underestimated" the risk of a tsunami hitting a nuclear power plant.

(In Al Mac opinion, Japan had "ignored" the risk, by relying on decisions by people who did not understand tsunami science.)
