　　"I swear that I will spare no effort to make lasting4 peace a reality and abolish nuclear weapons, while standing5 steadfast6 with the three non-nuclear principles."
 
　　The anniversary comes as Japan remains7 torn over the possibility of restarting the Fukushima nuclear power plant.
 
　　More than 100-thousand people remain displaced because of radioactivity concerns near the plant, which has been crippled since the earthquake and tsunami8 in 2011.
