My last blog post deal with the efforts of the new Abe administration in Japan to restart the Japanese nuclear reactors and expand the export of nuclear reactor technologies to other countries. Since taking power six months ago, Abe has signed a number of agreements with other countries to build nuclear reactors for them.

The new administration of Prime Minister Abe in Japan is bullish on nuclear power. Although the majority of the Japanese people do not want to restart the Japanese nuclear reactor fleet that has been shut down since the Fukushima disaster in 2011, the Abe government has been very insistent that nuclear power has got to part of the Japanese energy mix if they are going to expand the Japanese economy in the coming years.
