This could be a sign that a path has been clarified for Europe to return to nuclear power. Japan should refer to the move as an effective means of both maintaining a stable supply of electricity and achieving decarbonization.
The European Commission, the European Union's executive body, has recognized nuclear power generation as an economic activity that can help combat climate change. By giving the seal of approval to nuclear activities, it is said that the EU will aim to make it easier to attract private-sector investment in nuclear-related projects.
It is significant that the EU has reaffirmed the usefulness of nuclear power and labeled it an energy source that contributes to decarbonization.
