As someone close to me working with foreign countries and the Japanese nuclear energy industry said:

"Which country is willing to buy the products of our industry if we are not willing to buy them for ourselves?"

There are already a bunch of countries way ahead of Japan on renewable energy. But Japan is suffering from severe populism over the last years, nowadays it appears that taking responsibility for governing the country has become to equivalent resigning when the going gets tough. So, I don't think it is likely that they will stay the course and talk about safe and modern nuclear power.
