The oldest nuclear power plant in Buddha to be closed next year at 7:10 on October 1
It was officially decided that the oldest nuclear power plant in France, which has been operating for over 40 years, will be closed next year in France, a nuclear power country.
France's policy is to reduce its dependence on nuclear power, but the introduction of alternative renewable energy is a major challenge.
A major French power company announced on February 30 that it will shut down and close Unit 1 in February next year and Unit 2 in June next year at the eastern Fessenheim nuclear plant near the German-Swiss border.
The Fessenheim nuclear power plant is the oldest nuclear power plant in Japan that started operation in 1977, 42 years ago.
With this decision, the electric power company will receive compensation of nearly 47 billion yen from the French government in Japanese yen of nearly 400 million euros, and it will also cover the profits that will be earned if it continues to operate.
The French government has a policy of closing down old nuclear power plants and reducing the ratio of nuclear power to 50% in 2035 from the current 70%.
However, the alternative renewable energy such as solar and wind power is only about 18% of the electric power, and how to promote the introduction and reduce the dependence on the nuclear power plant is a big issue.
