Three Mile Island froze the nuclear industry in the United States for 30 years. Like Newton’s third law of Franklin Delano Roosevelt entered office amidst an motion, the force of the Fukushima meltdown threatens to historic internal disaster. Although FDR exuded a confidence create an equal and opposite force that would freeze nuclear to inspire a nation, he had no clear action plan for managing power in Japan. While the subject deserves serious debate, the Great Depression. Instead, the 31st President experimented alternative energy sources will be scarce in the foreseeable and experimented with a vengeance. In the words of Pulitzer future. It will be decades before alternative renewable sources Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, he hewed to of energy come onto the grid and are in a position to replace the “faith that the right solution to a vexing problem would nuclear power as a major source of energy for a modern eventually turn up.” The net result was a New Deal that economy. renewed a paralyzed nation.

Nuclear Energy Policy and the National Deliberative Poll
Nuclear Energy Policy and the National Deliberative Poll Yasunori Sone Keio University, Japan [email protected] “Public Policy and Public Consultation: Deliberative Democracy in Asia” May 20-21, 2016 Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Summary The National Deliberative Poll on Energy and Environmental Policy was conducted in August 4-5, 2012. James Fishkin described it as “the first Deliberative Poll® (DP) anywhere in the world that was commissioned by a government to get input on a subject of national importance before a national decision.” This paper focuses on three aspects of Deliberative Polling in the policy making process. 1) Why the government adopted it as a tool of public consultation in the formal decision making process, 2) what were the poll results, and 3) how the government used it for their policy decisions. Interestingly, the poll shows us that the 285 randomly selected participants became more informed and changed their views on certain policy options. The public finally supported the zero nuclear option and concern for safety as a first criterion. It also shows that the public could not find any reliable authority to judge important key respects. It seems to be an “anomie” situation where there is no trust at all even in the nuclear specialists. After an ad hoc committee of specialists examined public consultation results such as from deliberative polls, public comments, town-meetings, and public opinion polls by media, Energy and Environment Council decided ‘the Innovative Strategy for Energy and the Environment’ that recommended the policy proposal “zero nuclear power by 2030s along with strong commitments to energy conservation and renewable energy.” The Cabinet finally made a decision according to the recommendation. -

The Electric Power Industry in Japan 2021 Jepic
THE ELECTRIC POWER INDUSTRY IN JAPAN 2021 JEPIC Japan Electric Power Information Center, Inc. (JEPIC) was established in 1958 as a non-profit association of the electric utility industry in Japan. Our primary purpose is to meet the increasing need for a systematic and sustained exchange of information with the electric utility industries around the world. In response to government policy, JEPIC also initiated technical cooperation programs for developing countries in the field of electric power soon after our founding. These programs remain one of our main activities today. Research and Information Activities JEPIC conducts research on the electric power industry in foreign countries in light of situations and issues facing the industry in Japan currently. We provide information from those studies in various ways to contribute to the industry worldwide. JEPIC also works to enhance cooperation with foreign electric utilities and other related organizations. International Exchange Activities JEPIC is promoting information exchanges with the foreign electric utilities and organizations in the electric utility industry by holding regular meetings, and taking part in international conferences and symposia. International Cooperation With the support of the member companies, JEPIC promotes integrated international cooperation programs for developing countries, mainly in Asia, for the purpose of improving power infrastructure and nuclear power safety in those countries and sharing of general information. These programs include human resource development efforts such as seminars that JEPIC coordinates. JEPIC both receives the participants of these seminars to Japan and dispatches experts to their countries. Including these seminar programs, JEPIC carries out the following tasks: • Cooperation with electric utilities in ASEAN countries • Technical cooperation under ODA programs • Technical cooperation for nuclear power safety Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 I. -
