The only scenario to avoid the "Futenma" nuclear plant

An excessive allergic reaction that cannot be resolved by simply saving electricityA total of 54 nuclear power plants in 17 locations across Japan must shut down their reactors for regular inspections once every 13 months. This is required under the Electricity Business Act, and if the regular inspections are passed, they can be restarted. However, since the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, there have been a series of cases in which power companies have been unable to restart plants even after completing regular inspections due to opposition from surrounding residents and local governments.

For example, Kyushu Electric Power's Genkai Nuclear Power remove background image Plant Unit 2 was scheduled to be restarted in March, and Unit 3 in April, but they remain shut down. Kansai Electric Power's Takahama Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 and Mihama Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1, and Hokuriku Electric Power's Shika Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1, which were also scheduled to be restarted in April, are also currently shut down.

Higashidori Unit 1 (Tohoku Electric Power), Shiga Unit 2 (Hokuriku Electric Power) are scheduled to be restarted in June, followed by Iman Unit 3 (Shikoku Electric Power), Ohi Unit 3 (Kansai Electric Power), and Tomari Unit 1 (Hokkaido Electric Power) in July and August. However, as long as the Fukushima nuclear accident remains unresolved, there is little prospect of them being up and running.

If things continue as they are, all nuclear power plants will be forced to shut down as soon as next spring, a maximum of 13 months from now. This means that in a year's time, nearly 30% of electricity will be lost not only in the areas serviced
　by TEPCO, but across Japan as a whole. This will of course have a major impact on people's lives, and will be a serious situation that will destabilize Japan's industrial economy. Risk diversification, such as moving production bases and data centers from disaster-stricken eastern Japan to Kansai and Kyushu, will no longer be effective. Kyushu and Kansai, which rely on nuclear power for around 40% of their electricity, will be particularly severe.
