An NHK poll shows that just over 20 percent of people surveyed support restarting the dozens of idled nuclear reactors in Japan.

NHK carried out the telephone survey over the weekend. About 1,000 people responded.

22 percent said they support restarting the reactors. 36 percent were opposed. Another 36 percent were undecided.

All but 3 of Japan's 54 reactors have been idle since the March 11th disaster. Most went offline for regular inspections.

The idled reactors are required to pass government stress tests to judge their safety levels before they can be restarted. But securing local approval to operate remains the biggest obstacle for the reactors to go back into service.
