The government of Japan is committed to nuclear power accounting for at least one-fifth of the nation’s electricity supply in fiscal 2030, calling it an “important base-load energy source,” according to a draft proposal. For the first time, the government will specify the 20-22 percent ratio in its basic energy plan. The draft will be presented May 16 to an advisory panel with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, which oversees the nuclear industry.

It says the government will “further intensify efforts to achieve the target” and continue to push for nuclear fuel cycle policy in tandem with the export of nuclear technology, according to The Asahi Shimbun. The basic energy plan sets the government’s mid- and long-term energy policy, and is reviewed roughly every three years.

The government expects to gain Cabinet approval for its latest basic energy plan, the fifth of a series, this summer. The last one, approved by the Cabinet in 2014 and the first after the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, did not mention the breakdown of each energy source, although it described nuclear power as an “important base-load energy source.”

Experts say that 30 or so reactors must be brought back online to meet the 20-22 percent target.
