Japan to impose 40-year limit for operation of nuclear reactors

Operation of nuclear reactors will be limited by the Japanese government to 40 years, although there would be exceptions if certain requirements are met.

 

The plan is included in a draft bill to amend a law on the regulation of nuclear reactors and nuclear fuel material, compiled by the government in the wake of the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant. It would be the first time for the country to stipulate the life span of a nuclear reactor.

According to the draft, the government would not allow nuclear reactors to operate for more than 40 years, but would accept extensions for a certain period if there is a request.
