Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Pope Francis led a holy mass in Tokyo Monday and met with survivors of the 2011 earthquake and meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, using the occasion to urge caution for future decisions on energy.
The Roman Catholic pontiff, making the first papal visit to Japan in 38 years, visited with three survivors of the disaster, including a kindergarten teacher, Buddhist priest and a young woman who was eight years old when the earthquake and tsunami triggered a series of meltdowns at the plant.
