This is absolutely false. Standard lifetime for nuclear reactors is 40 years. With lifetime extension they can reach 60. Fear mongering is not in sight, the problem is nuclear plants cost a lot of money and time to build.
Especially not true for Japan, the country with the highest number of nuclear plants in the world.
