In this paper I intend to analyse the various nuclear power related export projects the Japanese companies have undertaken since the 11 March 2011, Fukushima crises, (3.11 disaster) , particularly looking at the forays the Japanese nuclear companies had made to participate in the United Kingdom's (UK) civilian nuclear industry.Japan and the UK, both are industrially advanced nations; while Japan is envisaging a revival of its existing nuclear sector, post Fukushima crises, in spite of a negative public opinion the UK is pursuing a revival of its nuclear power generation sector, with the acquisition of new third generation nuclear reactors, from elsewhere.On the other hand, countries such as Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Taiwan had decided to stop their reliance on nuclear energy.Looking at the recent developments in the domestic contexts in the UK and in Japan, the paper intends to analyse the inroads the Japanese nuclear companies had tried to make venturing into the new nuclear projects, which were floated since 2008, when plans for a revival was proposed there.The case of the excessive reliance on nuclear energy in both Japan and the UK, two highly industrialised nations are explored.An effort has also been made to highlight the issues, Japanese companies had encountered in the changed international scenarios, and a boom in the new technologies in renewables pitching against highly risky and expensive nuclear power.In section one, I will first look at the nuclear energy policy in Japan, especially looking at the flip flops in the state`s energy policy, post the 3.11 disasters.Further I would argue that the change in policy from a complete NO to nuclear energy to a full 193
