Don't get your rosy glasses on too soon. There is massive social opposition against restarting these ageing nuke reactors up here in Japan. The LDP is using up substantial amounts of political capital to push these restarts through, and the METI minister seen as the golden child for restarting the nukes was deposed a couple of weeks ago in a palace coup by hidden wealthy interests that want to restart the solar and renewable subsidy bandwagon.
Half the existing reactor stable are now near the end of their economic life and will never get restarted, while a lot of the remainder lay on active seismic faults. Blame more modern technology for finding the faults, or whatever, but the kabuki theater of pretending the plants remain viable is only a way for the power generation utilities to stave off massive book losses that threaten the solvency and no one has the capital to actually decommission these toxic old plants.
