    of atomic energy either directly or indirectly, instead of leaving such development and utilization entirely to private circles. In this respect, the Government has responsibility particually at the initial stage. That is, if Japan’s atomic industry is to make sound development by making up the leeway rapidly, it is necessary that enormous money and man power should be spent in promoting research and development and that the Government should push forward development systematically and with responsibility in view of securing nuclear fuel and ensuring nuclear safety. Furthermore, considering the fact that the atomic energy field requires international cooperation and coordination more than any other field,it is clear that there is need for the overinient to play a positive role in the atomic energy field. | In the revision of the long-range program this time, there- fore, it is necessary to study on an over-all basis all processes from basic, research to applied research and practical uses in all fields of development and utilization of atomic energy from a long-range point of view, and to draw up anew program which is worthwhile to be pursued by all the related governmental and private organs cooperating with one another. 3. Principle of the New Long-Range Program In drawing up a new long-range program on the development and utilization of atomic energy, full consideration is given to the changes in circumstances and the significance of develop- ment and utilization as mentioned in the foregoing, and study is conducted from a long-range, over-all point of view by using effectively the latest knowledge, information and experiences
