Headline

Abe has done his best to distance himself from decisions over restarting the nuclear reactors, all of which are now shut down in the aftermath of the 2011 disaster.

Abstract

Abe’s falling approval ratings make him even more cautious on restarting the nuclear power plants in the face of the two-thirds of the public that opposes restarts.
