Japan PM Abe says reconstruction of Fukushima is a priority

Japan's newly elected Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has visited the Fukushima nuclear plant, which was damaged by an earthquake and tsunami last year.

Mr Abe said the process of dismantling the plant, which was decommissioned after the disaster, was an "unprecedented challenge".

He said a successful decommissioning would "lead to the reconstruction of Fukushima and Japan".
