For Japan, it is very short of energy, so nuclear energy is what they rely on very much, coupled with this year's global energy crisis.
Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has formulated an action plan for future nuclear energy policy, including "promoting the development and construction of a new generation of innovative nuclear reactors using new safety mechanisms," the Nikkei reported on November 28.
The Japanese government and ruling party plan to extend the maximum operating time of 60 years under the current law, and it is included in the plan of action.
The action plan was presented at the Atomic Energy Subcommittee of the Integrated Resources and Energy Survey held on November 28. It is planned to be approved at the Japanese government's GX (Green Transition) Executive Meeting by the end of the year. With regard to the construction of a new generation of innovative nuclear reactors, the first step will be to renovate nuclear power plants that have decided to waste the reactors.
The plan also reads: "Implementation will also be promoted according to the progress of back-end issues (such as the disposal of spent fuel)." Extending the operating hours of reactors would require adjustments to current regulations of 40 years in principle and 60 years at most.
The operating time will be deducted from the operation time, etc., after the 3.11 earthquake in Japan, the time when the Atomic Energy Regulation Commission reviewed the suspension of operation. It can actually operate for more than 60 years. The bill will be presented in the regular Congress in 2023.
Prior to this, the Japanese government has stated that it will continue nuclear energy, and TEPCO's nuclear sewage will continue to be discharged into the sea.
