May 27, 2021 - How Japan's nuclear lobby is betting on a new climate plan
The government aims to cut Japan's emissions twice as fast as previously planned by 2030. The industry senses the chance for a revival of nuclear power plants.
Japan's freshly drafted new climate plan gives new impetus to the nuclear lobby, which has been on the defensive since the 2011 Fukushima disaster. As early as March, the Keidanren business association openly called for the number of reactivated nuclear reactors to be increased from the current nine to 2030 by 30. "Not using nuclear power is not an option," said Chairman Hiroaki Nakanishi in February. A discussion must now begin about who can develop a new vision for nuclear power ...

Nuclear_in_Japan
Since Fukushima, the Japanese have been saving massive amounts of electricity in order to be able to shut down as many nuclear reactors as possible as a precaution - there are fears of further earthquakes or aftershocks.
On August 26, 2011, only 18 of the former 54 Japanese nuclear reactors were in operation. In December 2011, 9 reactors supplied electricity, in February 2012 only 2 of the former 54 reactors were connected to the grid. Nevertheless, the energy saving ordinance applicable in summer was repealed in the weaker demand in winter.
In March 2012, the penultimate nuclear reactor still running went offline as planned; in May 2012 the last reactor, reactor 3 in the Tomari nuclear power plant (a pressurized water reactor with 866 MW net output; connected to the network since December 2009), went offline for maintenance work; since then Japan has been nuclear power-free. In many parts of Japan, local authorities persistently refused to restart nuclear reactors ...

2011-2012: demonstrations, shutdowns and exit plans
Since the summer of 2011, Japan has been increasingly using renewable energies, which should cover a fifth of its energy needs by 2020. In April 2012, plans were also announced to promote renewable energies based on the German model. In addition, oil, natural gas and coal have to be imported. The decommissioning of all Japanese reactors also has positive effects: The Japanese photovoltaic market grew threefold in 2013 compared to the previous year. Systems with a capacity of 7 gigawatts were installed.
Solar systems have also been greatly expanded in recent years, and renewable energies are expected to achieve a share of 2030 to 25% by 30.
From 2012: U-turn under Abe
After the LDP's election victory in December 2012, it quickly became apparent that the nuclear phase-out should be reversed, even though 70% of the Japanese were opposed to nuclear power. Immediately after taking power, the new Prime Minister Abe announced that he would reconnect nuclear power plants that had been shut down and build new reactors. The new environment minister, Nobuteru Ishihara, declared that an atomic phase-out was irresponsible and described the popular protests as "mass hysteria".
On January 16, 2013, the IAEA moved 47 Japanese reactors to the "Long-Term Shutdown" category, which would have reduced the number of reactors active worldwide to 390. At the request of the new Japanese government, this was reversed three days later ...
