A nuclear power plant is a facility that produces electricity using a nuclear fission reaction. Interest in extending the lifespan of existing nuclear power plants and their role in the future energy mix is ​​growing, with the St. Lucie nuclear power plant's operating license in the U.S. recently being extended until 2063 and the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant in California being discussed as to whether it will continue to operate until 2045. This reflects a complex situation in which the importance of nuclear power generation for stable power supply and achieving carbon neutrality goals is being re-examined, while ongoing discussions are needed on safety and waste disposal issues.
