Brief introduction of nuclear power plants in Japan

1945 Japan was defeated in World War II, and the United Nations prohibited Japan from conducting atomic energy-related research. However, with the entry into force of the 1952 San Francisco Treaty, the international status of the Japanese government and related research was lifted. At the beginning of 1954, Nakasone Yasuhiro, Ye Xiunai, Kenzo Saito, and Hideyoshi Kawasaki of the then Reform Party proposed the budget for atomic energy research and development to the National Assembly, which was the starting point for Japan to develop atomic energy power generation. At that time, the budget was 235 million yen, which means uranium 235.
