Abstract

The article focuses on the confusion related to the use of the term "nuclear security" in Japan. It compares nuclear security in Japan with koan, which is a paradox used in Zen Buddhism to demonstrate lack of logical reasoning and informs about the nuclear nonproliferation treaty that was signed by Japan. It states that the confusion arose following amendments to the 1955 Atomic Energy Basic Law in June 2012, addressing the need to use nuclear energy technology.
