IHJ Special Program "Viewing Nuclear Energy Policy Throughout the World"

After the Earthquake of 3.11, Japan faces the urgent necessity of reviewing its nuclear energy policy. The Fukushima crisis has brought about an increase in skepticism towards nuclear power and raises major issues of short-time power supply as well as of medium- to long-term energy, economic and environmental policy.

This program will invite specialists in nuclear energy policy in Japan and overseas to speak about current policies and the future, as an opportunity for each of us to think about what course Japan could pursue from now on.
