The spread of AI and the growing demand for electricity mean nuclear power? ? The Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant has not yet started operating even after 31 years since construction began. We will ask Miyazaki, who has been covering nuclear power and nuclear fuel cycle issues for many years, about the background and future challenges. ・Why is the Rokkasho Reprocessing Plant still not completed even though it has been 31 years since construction began? ・The technology is still underdeveloped (domestic glass melting furnaces continue to have problems) ・There is not enough effort for safety ・Can the two final hurdles, "construction approval review" and "pre-use inspection", be passed? ・What will happen if it takes even longer to complete? ・Promises with local governments are entangled, and the final disposal site is still undecided, so a deadlock is inevitable Guest: Miyazaki Tomoki (former Asahi Shimbun Special Reporting Department Desk, former editor-in-chief of monthly magazine "FACTA") Appearances: Kanai Fumiko, Yamada Atsushi Recorded on November 22, 2024 ..................................
