While in Spain it is planned that none of them will remain Central nuclear By 2035, other countries are building new or revitalizing plants. An example is Japan, which is busy returning what will become the world's most powerful nuclear power plant to service.
8000 megawatts
The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant, as it is called, will be able to produce up to 8,000 megawatts of power and its owners have already begun the process of loading fuel into the plant. The plant has been out of service since 2011, when electrical power production using the country's nuclear reactors was paralyzed after the Fukushima accident. In 2017, the plant has already undergone a comprehensive overhaul and a number of improvements have been made. As of December 2023, the operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has permission to start the factory.
Japan case
Tepco and other Japanese energy companies have chosen to reactivate all national nuclear power plants that comply with the new safety framework, although in many cases reopening the plants has been met with opposition from local residents or other regulatory and legal hurdles. Given its capacity, the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant is a key part of TEPCO's power supply plan and is consistent with the strategy promoted by the executive branch to enhance Nuclear In order to achieve its emissions reduction goals. Japan currently has 27 permanently closed nuclear reactors, another 21 temporarily inactivated (including seven at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa), and another 12 in operation.
