Abstract
For a great part of energy, Japan is dependent on foreign countries. Thus, Japan is one of the countries which ultimately need nuclear power. Nuclear power is one of the clearest power sources from the viewpoint that it discharges a minimum of carbon dioxide through construction, operation and fuel processing. In this paper, presented are the recent trends concerning nuclear power generation in the world and in Japan, and the recent activities of the Nuclear Civil Engineering Commitee relating to the global environment.
