On 22 September the Tokyo Shimbun newspaper reported that the US Government had demanded that no cabinet decision endorsing the strategy be made. Other newspapers reported that the US Government was pressuring Japan to abandon its nuclear phase out aspirations.
More recently a series of statements by former senior US officials and advisors suggests a concerted campaign could be underway to intimidate the Japanese Government.
In recent years Japan has become more than just a customer for the US nuclear
industry. The current state of US nuclear industry is such that it
would be hard pressed to construct nuclear power plants without
Japanese cooperation. In fact, Toshiba now owns Westinghouse, while
GE's nuclear operations are run through subsidiaries jointly owned
with Hitachi.
