Japan Considering Development of New Nuclear Reactors

Tokyo: Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida stated he has instructed his government to consider developing safer, smaller nuclear reactors, signaling a renewed emphasis on nuclear energy years after many of the country’s plants were shut down.
Kishida made the comment at a “green transformation” conference on bolstering the country’s efforts to curb emissions of greenhouse gases. Japan has pledged to reach carbon neutrality by 2050.
Most of Japan’s nuclear power plants were taken off line following the Fukushima accident for safety checks under tightened standards.
The government has already announced plans to restart up to nine reactors by winter to cope with the energy crunch. It aims to restart seven other reactors by next summer and extend the operational life of aging reactors.
