Nuclear's Place In Japan's Future

On Monday Japan restarted Takahama 3, its uranium-plutonium mixed oxide (MOX) fuel nuclear energy unit located in the Fukui prefecture. That's three units up since the Fukushima disaster of 2011 -- out of a total of the 43 units that once operated in Japan. Twenty two units are in some stage of the laborious restart process. Will Japan ever go back to being the nuclear-driven country it once was? The current government claims not -- but time will tell.
