Fukushima Daiichi Fuel Debris: TEPCO Considers Another Retrieval Using “Fishing Rod Device”
Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) announced on the 28th that it is considering another retrieval of melted nuclear fuel (fuel debris) from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant’s Unit 2.

Meanwhile, Shinsuke Yamanaka, chairman of the Nuclear Regulation Authority, and experts in a government decommissioning panel have urged TEPCO to conduct further sampling to increase the amount of data collected.👀👀👀

Japan Holds Sado Mine Memorial Despite Boycott by South Korea
Despite a last-minute boycott by South Korea, Japan proceeded with a memorial ceremony near the Sado Island Gold Mine on Sunday. The event highlights tensions between the two neighbors over the issue of forced labor involving Koreans before and during World War II.👀👀👀

CO2 Emissions Trading to Become Mandatory for Companies Emitting Over 100,000 Tons Annually
On November 20, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) announced its plan to mandate participation in a CO2 emissions trading system starting in fiscal 2026 for companies emitting more than 100,000 tons of CO2 annually. This policy is expected to apply to approximately 300–400 companies across industries such as steel, power generation, aviation, logistics, and food manufacturing. Each company will be allocated an “emissions quota,” and penalties are being considered for companies that exceed their assigned quotas.📌📌📌
Emissions trading is a form of “carbon pricing,” a system that imposes fees based on the amount of CO2 emitted, and is being widely adopted globally as a means of reducing CO2 emissions. In Japan, the government launched the Green Transformation (GX) League in fiscal 2023, but participation has so far been voluntary and limited to certain companies. To implement mandatory participation by fiscal 2026, the government plans to submit amendments to related laws during the regular Diet session next year.🔔🔔🔔
