Abstract: Nuclear power is likely to be widely recognized as one of the few options that can help countries meet base load electricity demand with virtually no greenhouse gas emissions. In Japan, the deregulation of Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) is expected to introduce competition into the electricity market and change market structures to lower electricity prices. As investors assume the risk of their investments, incentives to invest in nuclear power become conservative.
