23.4 Human Beings Cannot Avoid Depending on Nuclear
Energy as Well as Other Energy Resources, Including
Renewable Energy, Which Do Not Emit CO 2
into the Air
It is now very clear that it is almost impossible for renewable energy to replace
fossil fuel in the near future. Both nuclear energy and renewable energy are
necessary, not only in Japan but also in the world. At the same time we must
develop a new technology to compensate for CO 2 emissions from fossil fuels.
23.5 Nuclear Technology Must be Developed
23.5.1 Safety Technology of Nuclear Energy Must
Be Developed for the Future
Concerning nuclear energy, we must not stop researching and developing new
advanced reactors in which greater safety is guaranteed against natural calamities
as well as manmade disaster. Small-scale nuclear reactors also should be developed
