Japan to replace 14 old reactors by 2050
Japan has announced a plan to replace up to 14 old nuclear reactors by 2050, aiming to boost electricity production alongside meeting the growing demand driven by modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, data centers, and semiconductor factories. This move comes as the country seeks to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and achieve carbon neutrality by mid-century, following the shutdown of all its nuclear plants since the Fukushima disaster in 2011. It is expected that nuclear energy's contribution will increase from 10% to 20% of Japan's electricity needs.
