Japan aims to replace up to 5 nuclear reactors by 2040s

Baku, September 17, AZERTAC

The Japanese government in July set a target of replacing up to five nuclear reactors by the 2040s and as many as 14 by the 2050s, Jiji Press reported.

In revising its nuclear energy policy guidelines, the government presented specific numerical targets for reactor replacement for the first time since the triple-meltdown accident at Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in March 2011.

The government also reaffirmed its policy of making "maximum use" of nuclear power, seeking to encourage investment in related industry sectors and to foster skilled personnel.

With electricity demand expected to rise sharply amid the construction of data centers and semiconductor plants, the Japanese government regards nuclear power, together with renewable energy, as a key source of decarbonized electricity.
