  • The Electric Power Industry in Japan 2021 Jepic
    THE ELECTRIC POWER INDUSTRY IN JAPAN 2021 JEPIC Japan Electric Power Information Center, Inc. (JEPIC) was established in 1958 as a non-profit association of the electric utility industry in Japan. Our primary purpose is to meet the increasing need for a systematic and sustained exchange of information with the electric utility industries around the world. In response to government policy, JEPIC also initiated technical cooperation programs for developing countries in the field of electric power soon after our founding. These programs remain one of our main activities today. Research and Information Activities JEPIC conducts research on the electric power industry in foreign countries in light of situations and issues facing the industry in Japan currently. We provide information from those studies in various ways to contribute to the industry worldwide. JEPIC also works to enhance cooperation with foreign electric utilities and other related organizations. International Exchange Activities JEPIC is promoting information exchanges with the foreign electric utilities and organizations in the electric utility industry by holding regular meetings, and taking part in international conferences and symposia. International Cooperation With the support of the member companies, JEPIC promotes integrated international cooperation programs for developing countries, mainly in Asia, for the purpose of improving power infrastructure and nuclear power safety in those countries and sharing of general information. These programs include human resource development efforts such as seminars that JEPIC coordinates. JEPIC both receives the participants of these seminars to Japan and dispatches experts to their countries. Including these seminar programs, JEPIC carries out the following tasks: • Cooperation with electric utilities in ASEAN countries • Technical cooperation under ODA programs • Technical cooperation for nuclear power safety Contents EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2 I.

  • Opposition to Dangerous MOX Fuel Plutonium from Unirradiated MOX Fuel Than from Spent Nuclear Fuel, So Prevention of Theft of MOX Fuel Is a Cause for Concern

We believe the measures adopted before 9.11 are inadequate and want to know what measures have been taken to strengthen security. Unfortunately, since a 2005 amendment to the Reactor Regulation Law relating to protection of nuclear materials, the route and time of shipments, security provisions, and other information about the shipment of MOX fuel are no longer publicly disclosed. We presume that since such information is not available, the shipments themselves will take place under a veil of secrecy. History of plutonium and MOX shipments There was strong international opposition to Illustration by Shoji Takagi a plutonium shipment that took place between November 1992 and January 1993. In response to gnoring local opposition, electric power this opposition, the Japanese government decided companies are pushing ahead with preparations to have its plutonium fabricated into MOX fuel in for the introduction of pluthermal1 in 2010.

  • Japan's Gas and Electricity Market Reform: the Third Revolution
    JAPAN'S GAS AND ELECTRICITY MARKET REFORM: THE THIRD REVOLUTION Hiroshi Hashimoto Institute of Energy Economics, Japan - IEEJ Disclaimer: This paper is prepared for general informational purposes only and is not intended to influence any specific actions. Views expressed this paper are the author's ones but do not represent the organisation's ones. Japan's city gas and electric power industries are undergoing unprecedented but somewhat anticipated structural changes brought about by the recent regulatory restructuring. The process in fact dates back as far as 1995, when gas sales to the largest industrial customers were opened for competition. The ensuing regulatory measures have been considered and implemented extremely carefully so as not to jeopardise security of supply at affordable prices to end consumers in a country who does not have a lot of energy production within its territory. During the period the country's LNG market has successfully grown to be the largest and the most diversified in the world in terms of volumes, as well as numbers of both supply sources, importers and their receiving facilities, incorporating great flexibility in procurement with around 30% of the total volumes coming from short-term contracts and spot cargo purchases supplementing the main-stream long-term purchase contracts. In the latest stage of the industry restructuring, as the retail markets are opened for competition, city gas and electric power companies are entering into each other's home grounds by taking advantage of their own muscles and expertise, leading to the most unique, realistic and useful competition in the energy consuming market in the world.

  • 1991-10: Hidetsugu Yagi
    When I Think Back... by Neville Williams Hidetsugu Yagi: A pioneer who gave radio antennas a sense of direction Look up the word `Yagi' in almost any book on radio communications, and you will be told that it refers to directional antennas of a particular kind. Rarely do the authors have much to say about the Japanese inventor, whose memory it perpetuates. So who was he, and why does his name now occupy such a conspicuous place in the predominantly 'western' jargon of modern electronics? In my younger days, it took a while in an approved manner, cut to specified UHF bands & equipment to catch up with the idea of designing dimensions and coupled to the transmit- wireless/radio antennas to have specific ter and receiver in a particular way.
