Japan currently has no operating nuclear reactors as the country restarts its nuclear policy following the Fukushima disaster. The briefing discusses Japan's plans to decommission the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant according to a roadmap, as well as the reorganization of TEPCO and international support in these efforts, including from the International Research Institute for Nuclear Decommissioning. It also notes Japan's current reliance on fuel imports as it works to restart reactors and considers overseas nuclear new-build projects and domestic politics surrounding nuclear power.
