Japan is considering building next-generation nuclear reactors, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Wednesday, with the country facing soaring imported energy costs linked to the war in Ukraine.
The government will discuss bringing more nuclear plants online, extending the service life of reactors if safety can be guaranteed, and “constructing next-generation nuclear reactors equipped with new safety mechanisms”, Kishida said at an energy policy meeting.
