Overview of Japan's strategy for the utilisation of nuclear power
Description
The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant has had a great impact not only on Japan but also on the world. In Japan, many people started to have concerns about the safety of nuclear power. As of September 2012, only two of 50 reactors have been operating. The Japanese Government started discussions on future energy policy including the utilisation of nuclear power. Based on the national discussion, the Energy and Environment Council decided their 'Innovative Strategy for Energy and the Environment' on 14 September 2012. The new strategy presented policy targets such as 'no nuclear power plants operating in the 2030's'. However, at the same time, the strategy highlighted the importance of promoting R and D for P and T technology. (author)
