The energy transition show made an episode on it recently: https://xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/episode-154-japans-nuclear-dilemma/ https://xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/episode-154-japans-nuclea... Japan really is a country to watch in term of energy transition. They will have to take bold steps to meet their energy demand while curbing their CO2 emissions. I expect them to see some great projects around offshore wind but I think nuclear will have to be a part of the solution if they want to get anywhere close to the paris targets. Unfortunately, having a majority of japanese backing nuclear is not going to be enough. Last I checked most of the initiatives to bring back nuclear were stalled. The anti nuclear sentiment in japan leads a lot of communities to go to court to try to block building or reopening existing nuclear power plants.
