The Japanese nuclear decommissioning services market is poised to witness substantial growth, driven by the unique energy landscape shaped by the Fukushima Daiichi disaster. In 2011, nuclear power accounted for approximately 30% of Japan's electricity generation, which was projected to rise to 40% by 2017.

However, the destructive events at Fukushima started a shift in policy, with current plans aiming for nuclear power to contribute at least 20% to the energy mix by 2030 despite a significantly reduced fleet. According to the World Nuclear Association, Japan has 33 operable nuclear reactors, of which only 27 are slated for decommissioning by the end of 2024.

This substantial reduction in active reactors underscores the urgent need for comprehensive decommissioning services to safely dismantle facilities, manage radioactive materials, and restore sites.
