As we all know Japan has a high commitment when it comes to nuclear energy but at the same time it has a lot of consequences wherein the team comes in so they could further deal with it and reduce these factors. The biggest challenge here is reducing the carbon dioxide emissions of these vessels thus not forgetting to improve the nuclear safety that fits the global standards. This is the main problem of Japan ever since the Fukushima nuclear power plant leaked and killed the prefecture thus its neighboring provinces. So it is quite a challenge for Japan to regain everyone’s trust by making the safety precaution at par with the global standards. Japan being the third-largest economy in the whole world connotes that it is also a larger contributor when it comes to emitting carbon. The Fukushima disaster created a huge dent in this industry for Japan making other nations believe that it is impossible for Japan to adjust to the factors that they should be prioritizing.
Radioactive Decontamination
The reactors all over Japan are not operating because of the disaster because of this thermal power generation covered the shortfall of electricity. And yet greenhouse gas emissions increased to 1.39 billion tons as compared to the 1.25 billion tons in 2010. The difference is just drastically heavy for the nation to carry upon themselves.
Despite the ongoing challenges for a livable community having nuclear and renewable sources side-by-side is still a necessity. The question is how to balance them and not harm any living being or creature.
Even though Japan is the leading nation in the nuclear power industry surely decades from now other countries will be participating in this endeavor. But the safety measures should be monitored in order for a peaceful process.
