Around 2050, which is a target year for carbon neutrality, the total population of Japan is predicted to decline to the level of the high economic growth period of the 1960s, and the working-age population ratio is also predicted to decrease from about 70% to about 50%. Since there is concern that economic and industrial activities will slow down due to this impact, measures to maintain the technological base and supply chain in the nuclear industry were examined and evaluated from a perspective of nuclear fuel cycle scenario analysis.
