UN Watchdog Chief Visits Fukushima as Japan Returns to Nuclear Power A Critical Step Towards Safety and Sustainability?

The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Mariano Grossi, has recently visited Japan's Fukushima Daiichi plant, a significant milestone in the country's gradual return to nuclear power. This move marks a notable shift from Tokyo's previous commitment to reduce reliance on nuclear energy.

As the IAEA continues to monitor Japan's efforts to decommission the Fukushima Daiichi plant, which was severely damaged by the 2011 earthquake-triggered tsunami, Grossi emphasized the importance of ensuring that this return to nuclear power is done safely and with public confidence. This visit comes as Japan adopts an energy plan that aims to increase its reliance on nuclear power to meet growing demand from artificial intelligence and microchip factories.

The Fukushima Daiichi plant has been a source of concern since the devastating accident in 2011, which released radioactive materials into the environment. The ongoing decommissioning process is expected to take decades, with the most challenging task being the removal of around 880 tonnes of radioactive debris from the reactors.

Grossi's visit highlights the importance of transparency and international cooperation in ensuring the safe operation of nuclear facilities. As Japan returns to nuclear power, it is crucial that these principles are upheld to maintain public trust and confidence. The IAEA will continue to monitor Japan's efforts to decommission the Fukushima Daiichi plant and ensure that its return to nuclear power prioritizes safety, sustainability, and transparency.
