Japan looks to sell nuclear technology to five countries

Despite its ongoing problems with its nuclear power industry, Japan is going ahead with plans to export nuclear technology to Turkey and other countries.

Japan will resume talks with Turkey on a nuclear energy agreement a year after they were suspended after the Fukushima nuclear accident.

The two sides will hold talks in Ankara this week aimed at forging a deal that will allow Japan to export nuclear reactors and nuclear-related technology to Turkey.

Japan was holding similar talks with India, Brazil, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates before the Fukushima nuclear incident. Japan, however, will push through talks with these countries because of increasing competition from other countries that want to supply nuclear technology to these four nations.
