A decade after Japan's Fukushima disaster, public support for nuclear power was reviving, yet renewed disasters reignited fears, leading to political repercussions for the governing party.
The Liberal Democratic Party pushed for restarting nuclear plants to reduce fossil fuel dependency and meet energy demands, but disaster events sparked renewed public anxiety and political shifts.
In January, a deadly earthquake killed over 400 in Japan and damaged an unused nuclear plant, rekindling fears of nuclear safety among the public and eroding support.
With the looming threat of a megaquake in southern Japan, the ongoing concern about nuclear energy safety is leading to uncertainties about its future in the country.
