JAPAN
1. ENERGY, ECONOMIC AND ELECTRICITY INFORMATION
1.1. General Overview
Situated in the far east of Asia, Japan is subject to a monsoon climate in the Temperate Zones. Japan has four distinct seasons that affect changes in the demand for energy and electric power. There are two peaks in the annual fluctuation of Japan's electric power demand: one is a summer peak due to the use of air-conditioning (cooling), and the other is a winter peak due to the use of heating.
Table 1 shows Japan's total population, its density and its rate of increase.
Table 2 shows the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in total, the growth rate, and
the GDP per sector. Table 3 shows the estimated energy reserves in Japan. Figures
1.1 and 1.2 present the primary energy supply and the final energy consumption.
The balance of energy production (supply) and energy consumption (demand) is
shown in Table 4.1. Table 4.1 also shows the import/export balance. Table 4.2
shows the end-use of energy consumption by sector.
A key feature of Japan's energy consumption (see Table 4.2) is that the industrial
sector accounts for the bulk of the total, with 45.9% (in FY2001), while the
residential and commercial sector is 29.3% and the transportation sector is
24.8%.
Japan's total primary energy supply (in FY2001) was 22,784 PJ. Japan still depends heavily on oil, even though its dependency has dramatically decreased from 77.4% in 1973 to 49.4% at present. The decline in oil dependency can be attributed mainly to the energy conservation efforts of Japanese industries and the development of alternative energy resources in Japan. In FY2001, Japan imported 99.8% of the oil consumed in Japan (87.9% of crude oil was imported from Middle Eastern countries).

1.2. Energy Policy
'The Long-term Energy Supply and Demand Outlook' states that energy consumption
in 2010 FY will remain almost unchanged compared with that of 1999 as a result
of the following measures: (1) following up on Keidanren's voluntary action
plan, (2) improving the efficiency of energy-consuming equipment by introducing
"the top-runner method" (the Revised Law Concerning the Rational Use
of Energy), and (3) changing people's lifestyles to place a greater emphasis
on energy conservation. Meanwhile, on the supply side, Japan will make maximum
efforts to introduce non-fossil fuel energy sources, and will tenaciously promote
the development of nuclear power as a leading part of non-fossil fuels while
thoroughly ensuring its safety. Because of economic restrictions, new energy
sources cannot immediately replace existing forms of energy supply. However,
Japan must endeavour to expand the introduction of new energy sources as much
as possible through the improvement of their performance and cost reduction.
The two oil shocks in 1973 and 1979 had a direct impact on Japan's vulnerable energy structure and inflicted considerable damage on Japan's economy. Because of the first oil crisis, the Japanese government introduced the following emergency measures: Approval of Oil Emergency Measures (1973), Enactment of Two Emergency Laws (1973), Participation in IEA (1974), and Enactment of the Petroleum Stockpiling Law (1975). The first oil crisis prompted the Japanese government not only to formulate various emergency measures as stated above, but also to change the basic philosophy of its energy policy. In 1975, the Advisory Committee for Energy, an advisory council for the Minister of International Trade and Industry, submitted a report suggesting that developing a stable supply of energy should be regarded as the top priority. On the basis of this report, the following five policy pillars were set up: reducing oil dependency, diversification of non-oil energy supplies, securing a stable supply of oil through petroleum reserves, exploration and development of oil by Japanese companies, promotion of energy conservation, and promotion of new energy R&D. In order to strengthen energy conservation, "The Law Concerning the Rational Use of Energy" was enacted in 1979. In 1974, the Sunshine Project was implemented to promote the development of new energy technologies such as solar energy, geothermal energy, coal liquefaction, coal gasification and hydrogen energy. Various alternative energy policy measures were introduced after the second oil crisis. In 1980, "The Law Concerning the Promotion of Development and Introduction of Alternative Energy" was enacted.
1.3 The Electricity System
The Electricity Industry Committee, comprised of non-governmental professionals and experts including some from electric power companies, provides advice and recommendations to The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) on a regular basis, regarding the basic national policies on regional network operations for the stable supply of power, promotion of demand-oriented energy-saving measures, promotion of load levelling, further development of electric power, etc. Based on this advice, METI and related Ministries and Agencies confer regularly with individual power companies to review the up-to-date demand and supply performances and to evaluate the power supply program for the future.
Japan is divided into nine geographical zones with an electric power company
in each zone. These are private enterprises that specialize only in electric
utility operations and are the main power suppliers in each zone. Apart from
these, there is also the Okinawa Electric Power Company, a smaller electric
utility company operating in Okinawa Prefecture, which comprises many small
islands. These power companies run their own facilities from power generation
to transmission and distribution as an integrated business operation.
The Electric Power Development Company, which has its own thermal and hydro
electric power stations, and the Japan Atomic Power Company, which has its own
nuclear power stations, are other private enterprises that produce electric
power and act as wholesalers to the nine electric power companies. However,
in relation to Japan's total installed capacity, their installed capacity is
relatively small.
Table 5 shows the electricity production and the installed capacity.
With the amendment of the Electricity Utility Industry Law in 2000, a number
of system reforms were implemented, such as partial liberalization of the retail
supply to extra high-voltage customers. To improve competitiveness, the government
established fair and equal rules allowing suppliers other than electric utilities
(new entrants) to use power transmission lines owned by power utilities ("wheeling
rules"). Also, electric utilities are obliged to notify METI of the wheeling
service rates.

2. NUCLEAR POWER SITUATION
2.1. Historical Development and Current Nuclear Power Organizational Structure
2.1.1 Overview
Enactment of the Atomic Energy Law (1955) introduced the promotion of atomic energy development and utilization toward peaceful objectives in compliance with the three basic principles of Democratic Management, Voluntary Action, and Open Information. Inauguration of the Atomic Energy Commission (1956) established an advisory board for the Prime Minister on matters regarding promotion of atomic energy development and utilization.
Long-term program for Research, Development and Utilization of Nuclear Energy
(Long-term Program) was formulated in 1956. Today, it is the basic program for
the nation on nuclear power development and utilization. The plan is revised
and updated every five years.
The Ministry of International Trade and Industry (the former METI) was reorganized
in 1966 to accommodate its increasing workload. This change provided additional
rules and regulations for the introduction of commercial light water reactors
in Japan after 1966.
In 1974, three basic laws for the promotion of electric power development were
made into law; namely, the "Law for the Adjustment of Areas Adjacent to
Power-Generating Facilities," the "Electric Power Development Promotion
Tax Law," and the "Special Account Law for Electric Power Promotion."
These laws also advanced the appropriate siting of nuclear power stations.
In 1978, the Nuclear Safety Commission was formed as a separate entity from
the Atomic Energy Commission. Safety assurance measures were enhanced in 1980
in order to reflect the lessons learned from the TMI-2 Accident (1979) and,
later, the Chernobyl No. 4 Accident in 1986.
The overall appraisal of the Vision of Nuclear Power in 1986 provided long-range
prospects of energy availability and electric power requirements through 2030,
and a program for enhancement of safety called "Safety 21," which
further reinforced safety assurance measures. In 1990, Japan revised its supply
targets to include alternative energy sources to mitigate its growing demand
for oil and its part in the greenhouse effect.
In 2001, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA) was formed as a separate
entity from the Agency of Natural Resources and Energy of the Ministry of Economy,
Trade and Industry (or METI, which was renamed from the Ministry of International
Trade and Industry or MITI), to hold jurisdiction over matters of nuclear and
industrial safety.
2.1.2 Current Organizational Chart
Figure 2 shows Japan's organization chart in nuclear power, comprising government
regulatory authorities, electric power companies and contracting engineers/suppliers.
The Japanese government carried out administrative reform in January 2001. The Atomic Energy Commission and Nuclear Safety Commission (NSC) of the Cabinet Office gives high-level independent and proper directions to other ministries and agencies.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) was created through a merger between the former Ministry of Education, Science, Sports and Culture and the Science and Technology Agency (STA). In MEXT, three Bureaus and four Divisions are in charge of nuclear energy. MEXT is responsible for the administration of nuclear energy for science and technology. Its key roles are nuclear research and development (including nuclear fuel cycle, FBR, quantum research, fusion, and accelerators), utilization of radiation and radioisotopes, nuclear liability, safety regulation and disaster prevention for nuclear reactors for testing and research, use of nuclear fuel material, and regulation for ensuring peaceful use and safeguards. It is also responsible for supervision of the National Institute of Radiological Science, the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute and the Japan Nuclear Cycle Development Institute.
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) will be in charge not only of those areas that it had been involved in previously - as the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) - or taken over from STA - related to the nuclear fuel cycle business (refining, enrichment, fabrication, reprocessing and waste disposal), but also regulation of nuclear reactors including Monju and Fugen, that are in the research and development stage for use in generating electricity. Nuclear power-related issues will continue to be the responsibility of the Agency of Natural Resources and Energy. In addition, the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA), with its ten sections related to nuclear energy, was added as a special institution, to play a central role in safety regulations for industrialized nuclear power. NISA is responsible for regulating nuclear safety. The drafting of safety regulations and the licensing of milling and refining, nuclear fuel fabrication, spent nuclear fuel reprocessing and storage, disposal of radioactive waste and decommissioning of nuclear power plants, are now carried out by NISA. A double check system of safety review of nuclear facilities by NSC and NISA or MEXT is continuously adopted.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) is responsible for the international aspect of nuclear energy utilization, including the implementation of the related international treaties and conventions.
