Reports: Japan’s leaders call for nuclear reactor restarts
During some of his first public remarks last week, Japan’s new economy minister Yoji Muto promoted the importance of nuclear energy for his nation.
Muto said the new administration—including newly appointed prime minister Shigeru Ishiba—plans to restart “as many reactors as possible so long as they are safe,” reported NucNet, a nuclear-centered news agency in Brussels.
The DNFSB, an independent agency in the Executive branch, oversees the safety of DOE’s defense nuclear facilities. It ensures these facilities, vital for the nuclear weapons stockpile, are safely designed, constructed, operated, and decommissioned. DNFSB is dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive environment.
