But now the question is: If Japan is going to phase out nuclear power, what happens to its huge presence at its universities? The nuclear industry was a major source of funds for taught programs and research (even though much of that ultimately came from government subsidies and support to the industry).
I somehow think majors like 'nuclear safety engineer' are not going to have much appeal to young people.

Nuclear Research Institutes
Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI)
The Central Research Institute of Electric Power Industry (CRIEPI) was founded in 1951 to serve as the comprehensive central research institution for the electric power industry. Since that time, CRIEPI has exercised the talents of its specialists in responding precisely to the business challenges that electric utilities face. At the same time, we undertake the general development of technologies in the quest for fundamental solutions to the many problems involved in global energy and resources, the environment, and sustainable economic development, as seen from a long-term perspective. In this way CRIEPI makes useful contributions both domestically and internationally through the advancement of the electric power industry.

JOYO Experimental Fast Reactor (JNC)
The experimental fast reactor JOYO achieved initial criticality in April 1977 as the first liquid metal fast breeder reactor in JAPAN. As a fuels and materials irradiation test facility, JOYO achieved the maximum design output of 100MWt in 1983, and thirty-two cycles of 100MWt rated power operation were successfully conducted until the end of March 1998. During this period, many irradiation tests for the development of fuels and materials were carried out.

Department of Applied Nuclear Technology
Acquiring the skills to apply, develop and practice.
Nuclear power － used as a means to produce electricity it plays a fundamental role in our society. Japan’s relationship with nuclear power stretches back over 40 years. Now more than ever we need technicians trained in the use of nuclear power and in fact this institution is the only such one in the country to offer the particular course of study that we have here. Here at this university we seek to produce technologists who will go on to be experts in nuclear power and the correct and safe use of radioactive substances.
We are looking for the following kinds
of people with ambition:
1. People who can keep to the rules, forward-looking
2. People who are able to cooperate with others
3. People who are passionate about future developments in nuclear power
4. People who are creative and keen to experiment
5. People who abound with curiosity and are ready to take on the challenge of discovery
