Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has instructed his Cabinet ministers to set up ministerial panels to address policies on nuclear power and highly radioactive nuclear waste.
Abe spoke to the ministers on Tuesday about Japan's new basic energy policy, which he hopes the Cabinet will approve in January.
The prime minister wants one group of relevant ministers to address nuclear power policies that are necessary to establish responsible measures for energy production.
Abe wants another ministerial panel to deal with highly radioactive nuclear waste, which is created during operations at nuclear power plants.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters after the Cabinet meeting that Japan's energy supply has become a very significant issue after the nuclear accident in Fukushima.
Suga said it's important that all members of the government become involved and take the initiative.
He added that the government is especially determined to take the lead in dealing with highly radioactive nuclear waste.
