Which way next for Japan's nuclear power industry? - NHK NEWSLINE - News - NHK WORLD: After the 2011 meltdown at Tokyo Electric Company's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, the Japanese government established exports of nuclear power technology as one of the key pillars of its growth strategy.

But that strategy appears to be at an impasse. A series of projects to build nuclear power plants abroad has stalled. For instance, Hitachi has decided to freeze a project in the UK. Japan may now be forced to review its policy of promoting nuclear exports.
