Japan is planning to rebuild 2 to 5 ageing nuclear reactors by the 2040s and as many as 11 to 14 by the 2050s, according to an NHK report citing a draft policy. The move is aimed at securing a stable power supply and signals a longer-term commitment to nuclear capacity. The announcement is policy-oriented and could be supportive for Japan's power and utilities sector, but near-term market impact appears limited.
