Nuclear power generation is used not only in Japan but also in many foreign countries. What is the situation of nuclear power generation in foreign countries？
Over 400 reactors are running in the world. America has the most nuclear power plants in the world. It is followed by France, Japan, Russia.
Germany, Taiwan, Switzerland, Korea decided to phase out nuclear power plants. On the other hand, some countries continue to use nuclear power generation, such as China and India, where power demand increases.
America ： 99 nuclear power plants are in operation. Many have been operating since 1980s, 86 of which have extended the life to 60 years.
England ： The law stipulates the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 80% from 1990 levels by 2050, and securing a power source that does not emit greenhouse gases is important.
France ： 58 nuclear power plants are in operation and the ratio of nuclear power generation to total power generation is about 76%.
Germany ： In 2002, they created a new law on the abolition of nuclear power generation, and thereafter there was also a measure to extend the operation period by revising the law, however in response to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant incident, they again decided the policy of removal of nuclear power plants and decided to close all the nuclear power plants by 2022.
China ： In order to respond to the rapidly increasing demand for electric power, since the first nuclear power plant in China began operation in 1994, they are actively introducing nuclear power plants. It plans to expand to the scale of 80% increase in the current situation in 2020.
Korea ： In June 2017, President Moon Jae-in declared that it would go to nuclear power station.
