    Solution

    Japan has adopted a new policy promoting greater use of nuclear energy to ensure a stable power supply amid global fuel shortages and to reduce carbon emissions a major reversal of its phase- out plan since the Fukushima crisis. The new policy notifies that Japan must maximise the use of existing nuclear reactors by restarting as many of them as possible and prolonging the operating life of old reactors beyond their 60- year limit, and by developing next- generation reactors to replace them. The new policy says nuclear power provides stable output and serves an important role as a carbon- free base load energy source in achieving supply stability and carbon neutrality and pledges to sustain use of nuclear power into the future.
