In the energy policy policy "Energy Basic Plan" that the government is discussing for revision, the direction is to "sustainably utilize the required scale" for nuclear power generation, while rebuilding nuclear power plants etc. It turned out that it is not expected to be included.
According to the people concerned, regarding nuclear power generation, which is one of the focal points of the revision of the new energy basic plan, the government plans to "sustainably utilize the required scale" in the draft basic plan that will be presented later this month. We are making adjustments.
On the other hand, it is not expected that new construction, expansion, and rebuilding of nuclear power plants will be included in the same way as the current plan.
It is believed that scandals such as inadequate counter-terrorism measures at the TEPCO Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant have led to a series of scandals, and it has been determined that the people have not gained trust in the nuclear power plant.
