Japan plans to restart nuclear reactors
The article discusses the Japanese government's plan to rebuild nuclear reactors by the 2040s, as part of its preparations for a potential electricity shortage resulting from the decommissioning of old reactors after operating for 60 years. This is the first such initiative since the Fukushima disaster in 2011. The plan includes setting a target to build two reactors initially, followed by five additional reactors. It also emphasizes enhancing training and qualification programs for personnel and revising policies for selecting sites for nuclear waste disposal. The government aims to ensure a reliable electricity supply in the future while increasing reliance on nuclear energy as part of its crisis preparedness strategy.
