[SSJ: 7872] Why no nuclear energy policy change after 3.11?

From: David Arase
Date: 2012/12/02

I've noticed more media attention to the question why Japanese nuclear policy has not changed direction after 3.11. In a bit a shameless self-promotion, I offer an answer to this question in the following article: "The impact of 3.11 on Japan," East Asia: An International Quarterly, 29:4 (December 2012).

Maybe the title should have been "The Non-impact of
3.11 on Japan." Oh well. I wrote it for the ISA meeting last April and updated it two months ago for publication.
