You are just misinformed. There is no such fear. Japan relies on nuclear energy for a large portion of its electric power. It has many nuclear power plants, running on plutonium, set up to operate as breeder reactors and make more fuel. They have for years. Incidentally, because of their plutonium infrastructure, Japan could be a first rate nuclear power - bigger than UK or France or China, behind only the US and Russia - any time it feels like it, within a matter of months.

Who says they aren't already? :P

If I were the "Emperor" of Japan, I know that's what I would do.
