Due to the relative shortage of energy, Japan is still pushing for the construction of new nuclear power plants.
After the '3·11' earthquake in Japan in 2011, their domestic nuclear power plant operation decreased. After so long, the Japanese government also wants to restart the project. In addition to building more nuclear power plants, it is also preparing a new generation of nuclear reactors. It is said that the power will be bigger than it is now.
It is reported that the new generation of reactors developed in Japan will use the latest control technology, etc., to make the loss difficult to spread in an emergency, and the cooling is not water, but the use of gas, no risk of steam explosion, etc., higher security.
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan has set a goal of making nuclear power 20-22% for the power supply structure to 2030, but to achieve the goal, 30 units need to be put into operation.
