Original: Japan is abandoning its nuclear weapons taboo
Japan is being reported as moving away from its decades-long refusal to consider nuclear weapons, a taboo rooted in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and its postwar pacifist constitution.

Debate is growing over whether the country should host or eventually acquire nuclear capability.
Why now: Rising regional security threats are prompting renewed debate over Japan's nuclear stance.
