From the Paper:
"Nuclear Energy in JapanMore than any other country, Japan has staked its industrial future on nuclear power.. Its 40 commercial reactors currently supply about 26% of Japan's electricity.. In addition, by the year 2010, the Japanese government plans to double that number to about 80 in order to supply 43% of the country's electricity needs.. Since Japan has virtually no domestic supplies of coal or oil, nuclear power is its way of achieving energy independence..
In 1991 alone, the government allocated nearly 60% of its Science and Technology Agency's budget, or 317.3 billion yen, to nuclear research and development.. Its long.term policy involves the commercial use of plutonium in fast.breeder reactors and light.water reactors, as well as vigorous research on fusion."
