Japan appears to be heading toward a gradual revival of nuclear power generation under a new government supportive of retaining it, but the outlook for the industry in 2013 is unclear with antinuclear sentiment still lingering among the public after the Fukushima Daiichi disaster.

"We need to reconsider the previous government's policy of seeking zero operation of nuclear plants," Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Toshimitsu Motegi told a press conference early Thursday, shortly after assuming the ministerial post.
