Nuclear Export

The export of nuclear power plants is a large-scale, high-risk business that greatly affects the energy policies of other countries. Because of the high risks and costs involved, public money was supposed to be used to back up Japanese companies that have plans to invest in nuclear power projects abroad. However, due to local opposition and the huge costs involved, most of the nuclear power export projects backed by Japanese public and private sectors have been abandoned.
