WE’RE SO BACK

Japan’s nuclear restarts are moving along slowly but surely.

“In addition to the 14 reactors already restarted, three more units have received regulatory approval to restart but have yet to do so,” reports the EIA. “Restarting another 10 units is under regulatory review."

In October of 2021, the Japanese government called for the nuclear share of the country’s electricity generation to reach 20%–22% by 2030. In 2023, nuclear power made up only 6% of the country’s power mix.
