This paper presents a brief history of US-Japanese energy relations and cooperation. The authors highlight energy developments since the 1970s and provide examples of cooperation between the Japanese and US public and private sectors from 1990 onward. They conclude that the following elements are of critical importance: a safety culture, responsibility for management of radioactive waste and spent fuel, the financial integrity of the electric power sector, long-term R&D, attention to dual use of some nuclear technologies, the importance of public communications, and international cooperation.
