Michael W. Donnelly et al.The September 1999 nuclear accident in Tokaimura--the world's worst since the 1986 Chernobyl disaster--has made the Japanese public more fearful of the peacetime use of nuclear power and has increased skepticism that Toyko is doing enough to ensure safety.In the acci...
Echoing this sentiment at the March 2024 Nuclear Energy Summit in Brussels, Kishida said, “Japan will work to push forward the restart of nuclear power plants, extend their operational periods, and foster the development and construction of next-generation advanced reactors.” ...
Through the nuclear energy business, Hitachi aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, achieve stable energy supply and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
In a reversal after 10 years, Japan will end its stated goal to reduce nuclear power reliance in its next Strategic Energy Plan, which charts the direction of the nation's energy policy for the coming years.
Japan has adopted a plan to extend the lifespan of nuclear reactors, replace the old and even build new ones.
