Japan begins dismantling its first commercial nuclear reactor in Shizuoka, starting a process that ends in 2042.
Chubu Electric Power Co. has started dismantling Japan's first commercial nuclear reactor in Shizuoka Prefecture, marking a significant step in decommissioning the Hamaoka plant's No.
2 unit.
The reactor, which began operating in 1978 and ceased in 2009, is part of a broader effort to decommission 26 reactors in Japan.
The dismantling process, delayed due to radiation safety studies, is expected to last until 2042.
The move follows the 2011 Fukushima disaster, with Japan aiming to have nuclear power account for 20-22% of its electricity mix by 2030.
