Japan adopted a plan Thursday to extend the lifespan of its existing nuclear reactors and build new, next-generation reactors to replace its old ones, a post-Fukushima policy U-turn motivated by Russia’s war in Ukraine and the resulting energy supply crisis.
The policy, which was outlined by an advisory panel Thursday, calls for Japan to restart as many of its existing reactors as possible. It will also prolong the life of its older fleet beyond existing 60-year limits to serve as a bridge during the construction of the new reactors.
